Climate change is like a fever for our planet. Normally, the Earth has a certain temperature range that's just right for most living things. But when we burn too many fossil fuels like coal and oil, it releases too much heat into the atmosphere, like putting on too many blankets at night. This extra heat makes the Earth's temperature rise, just like a fever makes you feel hot. That's what we call climate change.
