About This Reader
This passage introduces children to three common greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and water vapor. It explains their sources, such as car emissions for CO2 and cow digestion for methane. The text uses the analogy of a blanket to describe how these gases trap heat in Earth's atmosphere. By relating these gases to everyday experiences like car exhaust and steam from tea, the passage makes the concept of greenhouse gases more accessible to young learners.
