ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Global warming game

Okay, so imagine the Earth is like a big balloon that we all live on. When we use things like cars, factories and electricity, we release gases called greenhouse gases into the air. These greenhouse gases trap heat inside the Earth's atmosphere, making us warmer.

Now, this warming can cause a lot of problems like melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and changes in weather patterns. So, we need to do something about it.

This is where the global warming game comes in. It's like a pretend game where we learn how to make the Earth cooler by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases we put into the air.

We can play this game by doing things like walking, biking or taking the bus instead of using a car, turning off lights when we leave a room, and using renewable energy sources like solar power.

The more we do these things and the less greenhouse gases we put into the air, the cooler the Earth will be. And that's a good thing because it means we won't have to worry about things like floods, droughts or extreme weather events.

So, let's all play the global warming game and help make the Earth a healthier place for everyone to live!
