1397 - What are the impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels, global warming, and abnormal precipitation?

Imagine the Earth like your home. Climate change is like a big problem that affects it. Here are some key impacts:

  1. Rising Sea Levels: The polar ice is melting, and that's making the sea levels go up. This means that coastlines and islands might flood, and some areas might even disappear.

  2. Global Warming: The Earth is getting warmer, like your room when you turn up the heater. This is causing weird weather, super-strong storms, and really hot summers.

  3. Abnormal Precipitation: This means it's either raining a lot more than usual or hardly rained at all. Some places might get super-flooded, while others are super-dry.

Some more impacts include:

We all need to do our part to help the Earth and try to stop these changes from happening, or at least, slow them down.
