[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Activities that likely contributed to the general trend in global temperatures shown on this graph include burning fossil fuels and agricultural practices like cattle farming. Both of these activities release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which trap heat and contribute to global warming. The preservation of the water cycle and the introduction of windmills likely did not significantly contribute to the trend shown on the graph. The decomposition of organic waste, like in landfills, may contribute to global warming through the release of methane gas, but it is not a major factor compared to burning fossil fuels.
