I wonder if climate change can lead to more earthquakes

I would say no, but it would imagine geologists would not say it's impossible?

What scale of change and where?

When the glaciers on the modern UK melted away the entire regional landmass lifted up by hundreds of feet as the weight of kilometer+ thick ice was removed.

If you're looking at mass and force acting on fault prone areas then the addition or removal of significant pressure will have an effect on slippage and lead to changes in earthquake frequency.

Activity on the sun is the main driver of earthquakes.

induction heating?
