Greenhouse gases are important to keep our planet at the suitable
temperature for life. One hundred years ago, the Earth was getting a little warmer, and the atmosphere was changing a little. But over the past 20 years, changes are happening faster and faster. Scientists think that people are causing climate change a change to the normal weather of the Earth over a long period of time. We produce too many greenhouse gases through factories, transportation, building things, and livestock farming. The greenhouse gases now keep more of the sun's heat inside the Earth, and stop this heat from going back to the space. So the Earth's temperature goes up. Greenhouse gases are gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane. So what are the results of climate change? ¦ Animals may lose their food because plants die. ¦Sea level rises, so people can lose their homes. The climate becomes too hot. We don't have enough rain and our crops can't grow.
