• Only population growth is not directly related to global warming.

All the other options are related to global warming:

• Deforestation can lead to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions as trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release it when they are cut down or burned.
• Industrialization and energy use are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide.
• Climate change is a direct result of global warming caused by the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
• Emissions refer to the release of greenhouse gases, which contribute to global warming.
• Habitat destruction and animal poaching can indirectly contribute to global warming by disrupting ecosystems and reducing carbon sequestration.
• Ice melting is a visible consequence of global warming, particularly the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, which can contribute to rising sea levels.
