What is climate change?
The air we breathe
is a mix of gases.
We need some –
like oxygen – to live.
Page 2
What is climate change?
The Sun makes the Earth
warm, so we can live.
The air holds in the heat
coming from the Sun.
Page 3
What is climate change?
“Greenhouse gases”
help keep the Sun’s heat
in our air.
But if we change the air,
then more heat might stay
and it could get too hot!
Page 4
What are the major greenhouse
gases?
Two of the most
common greenhouse
gases are:
Carbon Dioxide
and
Methane
Page 5
Where are greenhouse gases from?
We create greenhouse
gases when we:
• Drive a car
• Run farms
• Heat our homes
• Run factories
• Fill the garbage can
Page 6
What is climate change?
Too much greenhouse
gas keeps too much
heat in…
and that’s a problem.
Page 7
What is climate change?
Too many greenhouse gases
leads to “climate change”.
This melts our ice and raises
sea levels.
Less snow & ice to reflect the
Sun’s rays back into space.
Page 8
What about our oceans?
Oceans help our environment
by acting as a “sink”.
But too many greenhouse
gases changes our oceans
and makes them unhealthy
for fish.

What can we do about
climate change?
What are everyday
things we can do?
Today and tomorrow,
at home and at school –
to protect our planet.

How can you protect the climate?
You can help!
