Clarification Statement - S.MS.ESS.3.5.CS:
Examples of factors include human activities (such as fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and agricultural activity) a nd natural processes (such as changes in incoming solar radiation or volcanic activity). Examples of evidence could include table

Science and Engineering Practices - 6-8.SEP1.2:
Ask questions to identify and clarify evidence of an argument.

Disciplinary Core Ideas - S.MS.ESS.3.5.DCI:
ESS3.D: Global Climate Change •Human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the current rise in Earth’s mean surface temperature (global warming). Reducing the level of climate change and reducing human vulnerability to whatever climate changes do occur depend on the understanding of climate science, engineering capabilities, and other kinds of knowledge, such as understanding of human behavior and on applying that knowledge wisely in decisions and activities.

Crosscutting Concepts - CC6.5:
Stability might be disturbed either by sudden events or gradual changes that accumulate over time.
