Science
I can explain what climate change is and how people are solving problems.
A Warming Planet
Scientists read thermometers all over the world. Their careful records show that Earth's average temperature has gone up about 2°F in the last 150 years. Burning coal, oil and gas adds gases to the air. These gases hold in extra heat, a bit like a blanket. People everywhere are working on solutions. Engineers build solar panels and wind turbines. Towns plant trees for shade. Families save energy at home. Many good ideas are helping.
Jar Model. Put both thermometers in the same sunny spot. Read them at the start and after 15 minutes.
