Global warming happens because we’re releasing too many gases into the air that act like a blanket around our planet, trapping heat and making everything warmer.
When Earth gets too warm, we end up seeing more wild storms, floods, scorching hot days, and times when it doesn't rain for ages.
This affects everyone - people, animals, and plants, too.
The good news is that countries around the world have agreed we need to work together to slow down global warming and climate change. And we need to do it now!
