Really? Quit spreading rumors about the sun being behind warming. LOL! :>}
That’s the simplest answer I gave my elementary aged child when he asked for me to explain it and what caused it.
He was only disappointed that all the horror movie stuff isn’t going to happen. Flooding, earthquakes, wars, horrors - it all looks cool at 8.
The child abuse is making the middle schoolers on up all think the world is going to end before they grow up, their parents and grandparents are to blame, and we all ought to drop dead now to avoid the horrors ahead.
It is even its own genre Cli-Fi, or climate fiction, an endless set of horror books about every disaster amplified to “2012” movie proportions, blamed on climate change. Of course, it is all young adult fiction and given to the 12 year olds alongside “The Giver”.
