A worldwide change to renewable energy would, after many years, reduce some of the present warming from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, all of which release carbon dioxide (CO2).
climate cooling and drier air
A large enough meteor would create a huge crater if it hit the land. Millions of tonnes of dust would fill the sky, blocking out the sun. The earth's climate would cool. This is one of the theories for why dinosaurs became extinct.
Volcanic activity can cause climate change primarily through the release of ash and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) into the atmosphere during eruptions. These particles can reflect sunlight away from the Earth, leading to temporary cooling of the climate, a phenomenon known as "volcanic winter." Additionally, the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂) can contribute to long-term warming effects. Overall, while volcanic eruptions can lead to short-term cooling, their long-term impact on climate depends on the balance of gases released.
If the surface has a high albedo, it will reflect more incoming solar radiation back into space. This can lead to cooling of the surface and lower temperatures in the surrounding area. It can also have implications for climate patterns and the overall energy balance of the Earth.

The changing ocean currents lead to climate cooling by bringing cooler breezes to places with higher climates. The cool breezes push the warm air out and leads to the drop of temperature.

Usually not.
An asteroid impact can change Earth's climate by releasing dust and debris into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and causing a temporary cooling effect. Additionally, the impact can also release gases like sulfur dioxide, which can lead to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Overall, an asteroid impact can disrupt the balance of Earth's climate system and lead to significant changes in temperature and weather patterns.

Volcanic eruptions release ash and gases into the atmosphere, including sulfur dioxide. These particles can reflect sunlight back into space, leading to a temporary cooling effect on the Earth's climate.
