Answer for children of age 0-5

Global warming is when the Earth gets a little too warm, like when you wear too many sweaters! ๐ŸŒž It happens because some things people do, like driving cars or using electricity, make the air around the Earth warmer.

This can make the ice melt and the weather change. But don't worry! We can help by planting trees ๐ŸŒณ and using less electricity.

๐ŸŒŸ Fun fact!

Did you know? Polar bears ๐Ÿปโ€โ„๏ธ are losing their homes because the ice is melting!

๐Ÿ’กAdvice for parents

Keep it simple and positive. Focus on how kids can help, like turning off lights. Use examples they understand, like wearing too many clothes.

Answer for children of age 6-10

Global warming is when the Earth's temperature rises because of too many greenhouse gases in the air. ๐ŸŒ These gases, like carbon dioxide, come from cars, factories, and cutting down trees.

This makes the Earth hotter, which can cause problems like melting ice, stronger storms, and animals losing their homes. But we can fight it by recycling, using less plastic, and saving energy!

๐ŸŒŸ Fun fact!

Fun fact: The last decade was the hottest in over 100 years! ๐Ÿฅต

๐Ÿ’กAdvice for parents

Explain greenhouse gases simply (like a blanket around Earth). Focus on actionable steps kids can take, like recycling. Use visuals if possible.

Answer for children of age 11-15

Global warming is the long-term rise in Earth's average temperature due to human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) and deforestation. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ This releases greenhouse gases (COโ‚‚, methane) that trap heat in the atmosphere, like a blanket.

Effects include rising sea levels, extreme weather, and ecosystem damage. Scientists say we must reduce emissions by using renewable energy (solar, wind) and protecting forests. Small actions matterโ€”like biking instead of driving!

๐ŸŒŸ Fun fact!

Crazy fact: The Earth is now about 1ยฐC warmer than in the 1800s. Even 1ยฐ makes a huge difference! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐Ÿ’กAdvice for parents

Discuss the science (greenhouse effect) and solutions (renewable energy). Encourage critical thinkingโ€”ask how theyโ€™d solve it. Relate to local climate changes.
