ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Climate change scenario

Climate change is when the Earth's temperature gets hotter because of pollution and other things people do. Imagine the Earth is like a big blanket, and when we use things like cars and factories, it's like adding more warm blankets on top of the Earth. This can cause problems for a lot of things, like plants and animals that need certain temperatures to survive.

A climate change scenario is when scientists try to predict what might happen to the Earth's temperature in the future, based on how much pollution we use and other things we do. This is kind of like making a guess about what will happen later. Scientists use a lot of information, like how much carbon dioxide we use or how many trees are being cut down, to make their predictions.

Some climate change scenarios say that if we don't start using less pollution and clean up the Earth, things could get really bad. This could mean there might be more storms, really hot days or really cold days, and things like droughts or floods. People might have to move to different places because it's too hot or too wet where they live. It's important that we try to take care of the Earth so these things don't happen.
