Chapter 1: What Is Climate Change?

Weather vs. Climate

Weather is what you see outside today: sunny, rainy, or snowy.

Climate is the usual weather in a place over many years.

  • Weather: changes in hours or days
  • Climate: changes over decades

Example:

> Hotter summers every year is climate.

Climate Change in Simple Words

Climate change means Earth's usual weather is slowly changing.

  • Seasons shift
  • Some places get drier or wetter

Humans are changing the climate faster than normal nature changes.

What Is Climate Change?

Natural vs. Human Changes

Climate can change naturally, but usually very slowly.

Natural causes:

  • Volcanoes
  • Small changes in the Sun

Human causes (today's big problem):

  • Burning coal, oil, and gas
  • Cutting down forests

Now, climate is changing much faster because of people.
