One more to add to your list - or an addendum to the roving continents......
It has been postulated that the rise of the Tibetan plateau was a major factor in disturbing the world's air currents. It is possible that this ultimately put an end to the recent ice age cycles.
And while I agree with your overall list, I draw a different assumption.
We can't do diddly squat to shape the Earth's climate to how it suits us.
What we can do is try to limit the effects we may have on it rather than stick our heads in the sand.
I'm not a firm believer in man-made global warming, but I do like the less-wasteful* attitudes the phenomenon may place on us.
*Conservation is too strong a word, and as applied to our current consumption is a joke.
