The correct response is:

Climate change includes global warming as well as other factors.

Global warming refers specifically to the increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases. Climate change, on the other hand, encompasses not only global warming but also the broader range of changes occurring in the Earth's climate system, including alterations in precipitation patterns, sea levels, and weather events.
