Q:
What does So these changes in the planet's motions. They caused the climate to change, but it was also compounded. mean?
A:
This is a little fragmented, but it suggests that, "These changes," whatever they may be referencing in the text, are causing climate change. "These changes" are also compounded, meaning that they are either worse than normal due to other factors not mentioned in this text, (i.e., pollution that causes climate change compounded by the issue of a government not caring enough to change anything or perhaps the dire reality of a situation compounded by the stress of a time limit to rectify the situation or to be obliterated) or that they are made up of two or more elements. (i.e., climate change that is compounded (made up of, created from) two or more elements.
You are correct, "But it was also compounded," would suggest that the changes are made up of two or more factors OR that something that was once 'bad,' has now been made, 'worse.'

Q:
Please show me example sentences with For a change
For a living.
For a living.
A:
Your first sentence “I burn a new incense stick for a change” is a little weird, and I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Did you mean “Instead of burning an old incense stick again, I burnt a new incense stick instead.”?
For the second sentence, it’s more natural to say “Since we always eat Chinese food, why not we eat French food today for a change?”.
“I work as a delivery man for a living.” sounds more natural. For the second sentence, you can omit “for a living” as it makes the sentence sound unnatural. Instead, you can say “She worked as an barista before, so she makes good coffee.” (When you say she worked as a barista before, it is implied that she made coffee while working as a barista, so there’s no need to state that information).
Other example sentences:
“Let’s sleep early this weekend for a change! Maybe it will help us feel more refreshed the next morning!”
“Everyone has to work for a living.”
Hope this helped!☺️

Q:
What is the difference between climatic change and climate change ?
A:
I think the difference is ONLY in terms of grammar with the SAME meaning.
Climatic is adjective
Climate is noun.
Personally, I can use them interchangeably, however:
1) Climatic change is more accurate grammatically.
2) Climate change is more common in use.
Another confusing thing:
If you are talking about one or more cause(s) of climate change, say : "climatic change".
For example: 1) The CClF4 compound led to climatic change. (now we speak about cause/causes of climate change)
2) The Ozone hole above Australia has also led to climatic change.
------------
But if we talk about the topic itself===> say climate change. E.g., Trump has withdrawn from the Paris Accord of climate change.

“There are not too many changes” means that you are saying that there are not many changes to the various things that make up your environment or mood.
“There is not too much change” means there is not much change in someone’s mood or their environment.

A:
"The cause of this ecological change is something that people disagree about, and are debating a lot. And the answer is not insignificant."
"Of no small consequence" is just a common phrase that uses a slightly old-fashioned construction--the "of" is built in. It uses negative understatement for emphasis, so "The answer is of no small consequence" = "The answer is of great consequence" = "The answer has important consequences"
