Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Generating power. Generating electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels causes a large chunk of global emissions. Manufacturing goods. Cutting down forests. Using transportation. Producing food. Powering buildings. Consuming too much.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have released large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which has changed the earth’s climate. Natural processes, such as changes in the sun’s energy and volcanic eruptions, also affect the earth’s climate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The burning of fossil fuels, cutting down of trees etc. causes the temperature of the earth to increase. High temperature changes the weather patterns, causing the dry areas to get drier and wet areas to get wetter. Thus, increasing the frequency of disasters like floods, droughts etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are six major natural climate factors: air masses and winds, latitude, ocean currents, elevation, relief, and bodies of water. Some are global factors that affect all parts of Earth. Some are local factors that influence only small parts of Earth.

Detailed explanation-5: -Global warming can result in many serious alterations to the environment, eventually impacting human health. It can also cause a rise in sea level, leading to the loss of coastal land, a change in precipitation patterns, increased risks of droughts and floods, and threats to biodiversity.
