How can I explain climate change to my kids?

You can start by explaining that climate change means the Earth is getting warmer because of things people do, like using cars and factories.

What are some simple examples I can use?

You can say that when we use a lot of energy, like turning on lights or driving cars, it creates gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, like a blanket.

How can I make it relatable for them?

You could compare it to how they feel when they wear too many blankets on a hot day. It helps them understand that too much heat isn't good for the planet.

Are there fun activities to teach them about it?

Absolutely! You can do a simple experiment with a jar, a thermometer, and a lamp to show how heat gets trapped.
