Understanding Global Warming - In Layman's term

How Our Actions Heat Up the Earth and What It Means for Us

Global warming is when the Earth's temperature gets hotter than usual. This happens mainly because we burn things like coal, oil, and gas for energy. These activities release gases into the air that trap heat, much like a blanket keeps you warm. Because of this trapped heat, the planet's temperature rises. This can lead to changes in weather patterns, making some places hotter, causing more droughts, and melting ice in cold regions. It's important to be aware of this so we can take steps to protect our environment and ensure a healthy planet for future generations.
