Imagine that our planet Earth is like a big house and we are all living in it. The weather outside can be different every day, but climate is what we call the long-term patterns of the weather in a certain location. For example, some places are always hot and dry, while others are always cold and snowy.
The National Climate Assessment is a big report that helps us understand what is happening with climate in the United States, which is the big backyard of our Earth house. Scientists work together to gather information about weather patterns, temperature changes, and other factors that affect the climate. They collect data from the past and the present to make predictions about what might happen in the future.
The report helps us understand if the climate is changing and if humans are causing it to change. We all have to work together to take care of our planet and make sure that it stays healthy and safe for all of us to live in. The National Climate Assessment helps us know what changes we need to make to take care of our Earth house.
