And why is it changing? • Our climate is the earth’s normal weather, over a very long time. • It usually takes hundreds, or thousands of years for the climate to change. • But recently, our climate has been changing much faster. • All these changes make life harder for our plants, animals, and for people around the world. • And the biggest cause of climate change, is humans. Including you and me. • When we use fuel, like oil and gasoline, or remove forests to make room for cities or farms, we release greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. • These greenhouse gasses cause our climate to get warmer. • Normally, when the heat from the sun warms our planet, some of the heat reflects back into space. But greenhouse gases act like a big blanket, holding some of it in. • This extra heat can cause all sorts of problems for our planet; and the plants, animals and people who live here. • Our ice and snow is melting faster. • Our oceans are getting warmer, and higher. • And our weather is becoming more extreme; with more heat waves, heavy rainfalls and powerful hurricanes. • Luckily, many countries around the world are working together to fight climate change. • And there are lots easy ways you and I can help too. • Like reusing things, instead of throwing them out; instead of driving, ride your bike or take the bus; use less electricity; and eat food grown closer to home. • You and I - we can make a difference. • We can fight climate change.
