Global warming is like Earth getting a blanket that doesn’t let heat escape. The sun gives Earth warmth, but when we burn things like coal and gas, it adds more blankets, making the planet hotter.
Imagine you're wearing a jacket on a cold day, that's like the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. If you add more jackets, you get warmer. That’s what happens to Earth, and over time, this warming changes weather, melts ice, and affects animals and people.
Examples
- Global warming makes the Earth like a hot cup of tea that doesn’t cool down because the lid is on too tight.
- Greenhouse gases are like invisible blankets around the planet, keeping it warm.
- Rising temperatures cause ice to melt and seas to rise, just like when you leave an ice cube in a hot room.
