Oh, and these heat-trapping gases, like CO₂, are called greenhouse gases.
Why?
Because they work just like a greenhouse, trapping heat from the sun.
That’s great for growing tomatoes, not so great for our planet when there’s too much heat.
So, that’s the role carbon plays in climate change. Understanding this is important because knowledge is the first step to making a positive change. Let’s keep learning and working together to protect our planet!
