This document discusses climate change and global warming. It explains that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and cause the planet to warm up over time. It notes that some of the effects of global warming include rising sea levels, warmer temperatures, and changes to plant and animal habitats. The document encourages environmentally friendly behaviors like recycling, reducing energy usage, and using alternative transportation to help address this issue.

Climate
Change and
Global
Warming?

3. Heat from the sun
shines onto the Earth.
It passes through a
blanket of gases in
our atmosphere.

4. Some of the heat
energy is reflected
back into space.
Some of the heat energy
gets absorbed by the
blanket of gases.

5. More greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere mean that more
heat energy is absorbed.
We call this increase
in the temperature
of the earth
‘global warming’.

6. Why is Global Warming a bad thing?

and cause flooding These are just
a few
• Countries will examples!
become warmer
and drier
• Temperature
changes will mean
changes to the
homes of plants
and animals

7. Be ECO Friendly!
• Turn off lights
• Turn off the TV
• Put on an extra layer instead of
turning the heating up!
• Recycle
• Walk or cycle short journeys
