Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 17:13, 16 June 2015

Environment Project‑class

This environment-related page is part of the WikiProject Environment to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of the environment. The aim is to write neutral and well-referenced articles on environment-related topics, as well as to ensure that environment articles are properly categorized. Read Misplaced Pages:Contributing FAQ and leave any messages at the project talk page.EnvironmentWikipedia:WikiProject EnvironmentTemplate:WikiProject EnvironmentEnvironment Project This page does not require a rating on Misplaced Pages's content assessment scale.

This task force is to organise climate change related articles. Use this talk page for general comments. Any article specific discussions should be on the talk page of the relevant article. Any major project or discussion of multiple article should have its own sub-page of this task force.

Added myself...

...this should not be taken as an endorsement of more formal structures on Misplaced Pages, but only of support of a good-faith attempt. If we start voting on the undersecretary of the good article candidate preselection sub-committee, I'm outta here! --Stephan Schulz (talk) 14:31, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Like it or not a large organisation such as WP needs some sort of formal structure to make it work efficiently. Note that "formal" does not necessarily mean that there is a need for a hierarchy, which is what I suspect a lot of WP editors would shun. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to the folks who started this. Zulu Papa 5 ☆ (talk) 18:50, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

"Task Force"

Would this "task force" happen to consist solely of people in favour of the man-made global warming theory?--Baina90 (talk) 15:01, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Not any more. Martin Hogbin (talk) 17:03, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Where does the discussion on this subject take place? Martin Hogbin (talk) 17:03, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

This task force is for ALL editors regardless of personal stance on anthropogenic climate change. The discussions on WP talk pages should be on the accuracy of article content not on what the editors believe. It should be realised that an editor (a good editor!) can edit an article in a manner that may be contrary to their own preconceived understandings. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Noticeboard?

As discussed on Wikipedia_talk:General_sanctions/Climate_change_probation#Climate_change_noticeboard_suggestion, perhaps this would be a good place to have a discussion on issues that effect more than one article, and a place to have discussion on conflicts. Any thoughts? Ignignot (talk) 15:42, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

This project is exactly for those sorts of things. The way I see it thought is that:

• Generic stuff is discussed on this talk page
• Non-controversial stuff for a specific article should be on the approp talk page
• Controversial stuff should be here and linked from the article in question
• Big and long term projects, especially the contentious ones, should have subpages of this task force
• Issues that cover more than one article should be discussed here

-- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Side Bar

There is a Template:Global_warming; however, there are many related scientific issues for climate change. Whould there be benfit to creating a side bar . Zulu Papa 5 ☆ (talk) 19:06, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I have not seen them in action. The sort of thing you are thinking of can be added as a todo box in the WikiProject banner. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:48, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Not sure if you mean related article or related administration tasks. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:49, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Templates

I volunteer for creating the Template:User Climate change task force with the same image used in the userbox, but I would like to hear first suggestions and of course, your opinion regarding changes or improvements to the image/layout of user template I recently created.--Mariordo (talk) 04:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Category:United_Nations_Framework_Convention_on_Climate_Change

Hello, I'm new here, so I may well be at the wrong place with my comment, or be unaware that it has been raised before.

The Category:United_Nations_Framework_Convention_on_Climate_Change (why doesn't an internal link work?) includes two subcategories: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the United Nations climate change conferences. I consider this incorrect. As I mention in the discussion page there:

It is misleading to list the IPCC here. The IPCC was set up by WMO and UNEP in 1988 (before there was a UNFCCC), and continues to work independently. As such it reports to and responds to requests from the UNFCCC Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice, but it is governed separately by its member states and the IPCC Bureau. While UNFCCC negotiators rely on IPCC publications, the IPCC is not a body under the UNFCCC.

I guess there are two options: either delete the IPCC subcategory, or rename the category to something like "Climate change and the United Nations". The latter would be an elegant solution but also a complicated one, because it would require adding many many more links to agencies, programmes and events. So deleting the IPCC subcategory seems the most practical, but I couldn't figure out how to do that.

Responding to the technical issue here - you need a colon before the word Category or the parser puts the page in the category instead of linking to it. ] produces Category:United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. - 2/0 (cont.) 05:12, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Howard Friel

i added this article, which i created, to the climate change task force list. however, im aware that i may not have gone through proper procedure. if this is ok, fine. if not, please inform me the proper way to ask to include it, and i will do so, removing the task force tag until approved. i suspect this authors book "the lomborg deception" is going to have huge ramifications for the debate, and will likely attract problematic editing. it will probably quickly qualify for its own article.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:45, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Methane chimney

I just made the article. I'm not a scientist, so I don't quite know what I'm writing about. I could really use a bit of help on it, if you have time. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:23, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Bibliography on clime change

Do we need a bibliography on climate change publications? There are other topics at Category:Bibliographies. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:55, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Just looking for a few good articles

Was looking at the articles on impact of GW on animals and they seem very choppy. (Note this is nothing to do with debates on content or anything. Am totally cool with "standard" IPCC view. But the articles seem very choppy (like cut and pasted maybe? refs are strange format.) Also not even wikified in formatting. Also I don't understand why we have one on plants, one on terrestrial animals and one on marine mammals. Like where would sea turtles fit? And there are other gaps.TCO (talk) 06:24, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Use of SAR GWP values

Both on Global Warming Potential and Greenhouse Gas, there are tables showing the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) GWP values. The former also shows the Third Assessment Report(TAR) values. But, Second Assessment Report(SAR) are most widely used for emissions reporting and regulation, including within Kyoto (at least until 2012, see here), the US GHG mandatory reporting rule, and all voluntary programs I'm aware of. I think not explaining this and not showing the SAR values on both these pages will frustrate many readers, as they won't understand why the values they expect are not shown, or they will inadvertently use values that are not allowed by their reporting program.

I propose to update the GWP and GHG page tables to show both the SAR and AR4 values, and omit the TAR values. As this is a major change to two key pages, I'd like to get feedback here before proceeding. See ] for a workup of a chart. And bear with me, esp. on style, as I'm a complete newb to WP.

Also, how do folks feel about the presentation of GWP tables on both pages? Is this too redundant? Maybe we should show GWP for CO2, CH4 and N2O on the GHG page, and then show a longer list on the GWP page?Pjwst6 (talk) 04:01, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

does subsection in wet bulb temperature article merit tagging

Small potatoes in the big scheme of things, but I did tag this new subsection to try to end an edit war Wet-bulb_temperature#Wet-bulb_temperature_and_Human_HealthNewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 01:08, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Is this project dead enough to merit a proposal for deletion?

....Ping....

I added myself to this project quite a while ago. Unless I didn't do something correctly, it appears there is zero traffic. None, zip, nada. Am I doing something wrong, or does the project no longer serve any purpose? Anybody still breathing here? NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 13:54, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

I created the task force (note that it is not a WikiProject) to try and get all the hotheads (pun!) who where fighting amongst the climate change articles. It seems that they don't want to collaborate at a task force level. After I created the task force sanctions were put in place too cool (!) the hotheads. That was a more effective measure since a number of editors were kicked off WP. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:13, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

That sounded a lot like "No, and it was my baby". Do I have your permission to propose it be deleted, if so, how do I do that? NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:49, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

I am in no fuckin'way implying that I own this taskforce and I am quite aware of the fact that WP content cannot be owned. Did I not`explain that I created it as an attempt to improve WP articles relating to climate change? If you want it deleted you need not ask for my permission but I would prefer that it was kept in the hope that it brings editors together. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 03:33, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I apologize for unintended ambiguity!!!! By "your baby" I only meant it was your initial stroke of creativity, inspired for a great goal, and something you cared enough to give energy to. As such, it seemed the courteous thing to check with you, using some words or other, about reasons or feelings before blindsiding you with a deletion proposal from someone you don't know. I in no way meant to suggest WP:OWN and I regret my word choice.

Anyone else want to chime in with preliminary input as I decide whether to propose deletion of the project?NewsAndEventsGuy (talk)

Well, I belatedly realized that (ideally) this would have been the better location for the discussion at Talk:Global_warming/Archive_64#Proposed IPCC citation about work I have been doing to improve the citation of the IPCC ARs. And as I discover how dreadfully bad some of the citations/references are (e.g., see IPCC#References), and that there are common trends across articles, this would seem to be the best place to organize improvements. But only if there is sufficient community here interested in that. Do I see any hands? _ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 18:01, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I set up this task force and it would be a shame to see all of my hard work get undone. Can we just tag it as inactive or just let it remain dormant until a group of editors comes forward to maintain it? -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:11, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I probably don't have the proper (read="any") awareness how much work was involved, Alan. An "inactive" tag seems reasonable. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:42, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, perhaps tag it, but don't delete.

I wonder if the editors banned from this topic should purged from the task force.

Cloud formation and climate change

An experienced user has opted to move the old "Nephology" stub to Cloud formation and climate change and hopefully to expand it as a see main from Cloud#Cloud formation and climate change (removed pending development). Please take a look and offer advice / help as he builds the article. Vsmith (talk) 00:41, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Move to form a Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Global warming

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was close as a stale debate next time use the process laid out in WP:RM -- PBS (talk) 17:37, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

I notice User:Northamerica1000 has made Portal:Global warming into a nice top site that's worth looking after. I think at the same time it would be good to move this page to form the basis of a WP:WikiProject Global warming associated with it. I don't believe where this is at the moment is a good location, it isn't obvious to find. There's problems too with all sorts of people with missions coming along and this would be a good place for them to be directed to and it could help organize the articles better as there's a fair number. I believe this is sufficiently distinguished from the Environment project that it should be obvious in most cases if a topic falls under environment or global warming but it doesn't matter if there is a bit of overlap. Dmcq (talk) 13:20, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Well projects need support so after that deafening silence I'll assume the idea is a dead duck. Dmcq (talk) 00:00, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks for bringing the Global warming portal to this WikiProject's attention. Maybe some of its members will help to add more content to the portal. Northamerica1000 10:48, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Climate cycle

Hi. The aforementioned article is several years old, but seeing that the more recent article that I created, climate oscillation, is longer, I will be merging the two articles to the new title. Hope nobody objects. ~AH1  18:49, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

openCCS - resource on carbon capture and storage

openCCS is a new-ish wiki-like resource about carbon capture and storage. It's a very active project supported by a major organization in the carbon capture and storage (CCS) field, the Global CCS Institute.

I mention it because:

• I'm sure this will be a very valuable resource for anyone working on wiki pages about CCS. (Much like Misplaced Pages, more as a starting point for research and understanding, rather than as a "reliable source".)
• It is licensed under CC-by, so if there are slabs of content suitable for Misplaced Pages, they can be copied, with proper attribution.
• It would be great to have input from anyone who's interested in writing about CCS in more depth. The target audience includes people in industry looking for information for their CCS projects, so there's just about no limit to the level of detail that could be useful.

It currently requires registration, but will be opening up - the team has a very good attitude to openness, but it's the kind of field where industry sensitivities are to be expected, so there'll be some reviewing before it's opened up. Once you're registered it's all visible, though.

Disclosure: I'm doing a contract with openCCS. But even if I weren't I'd still think it was an important project - I'm sure it will make a significant contribution to the development of CCS and CCS policy.

Even if you're not a big fan of CCS, there's a lot to be said for figuring out what works and what doesn't, and the costing and technical challenges etc, so that rigorous comparisons can be made between alternative forms of carbon dioxide mitigation. --Chriswaterguy talk 07:44, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Physical impacts of climate change

I was wondering if some folks might take a gander at Physical impacts of climate change, particularly this series of edits. Two of the four sources (one in history) provided do not seem to support the editors claim, as near as I can figure. The other two sources are slated for publication later this year and in 2014 respectively. I removed the edits, but another editor or two taking a look would certainly help. talk page link --TeaDrinker (talk) 23:08, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen

Could editors interested in climate change issues please have a look at recent activity on Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen. An editor by the name of User:JournalScholar has been attempting to shield Boehmer-Christiansen from the consequences of her actions, which (according to the Guardian) included publishing an article (against the recommendations of a reviewer) claiming that the sun is made of iron. JournalScholar dislikes inclusion of that phrase, and his editing efforts are dedicated to removing it, e.g. here. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 05:49, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

• The relevant part of the Guardian article reads: 'Schmidt points to an E&E paper that claimed that the Sun is made of iron. "The editor sent it out for review, where it got trashed (as it should have been), and published it anyway," he says.' That paragraph supports the passage that JournalScholar has been removing.

Climate Change and Gender

Template:WAP assignment

Hello! I realize that this page is technically more of a task force than a WikiProject per se, but I am hoping that the editors here can still give me some feedback on my proposal: I plan to create a new article called Climate Change and Gender for my class at Rice University, SWGS 322. There is no current Misplaced Pages article on this topic, nor is there a section covering it on the Climate change page. In the past, there was a page called The Effects of Climate Change on Impoverished Women and Children, but it was deleted for original research. I do not think I will have this problem because a) I have found many scholarly sources for this topic and b) I have a few years of experience editing Misplaced Pages articles so I (hope that I) do not draw my own conclusions from other people's research when writing content for Misplaced Pages. My new article would include a brief definition of climate change, an explanation of the way it affects genders differently (even among low-income and impoverished populations) and why that is the case (social norms like division of labor, biological factors, environment/geography, etc.). It would summarize the research on the subject and talk about the two main types of policy addressing climate change (mitigative and adaptive) while focusing on case studies (in Bangladesh and India). For reference, I think it is of similar importance and scope as the Climate change and poverty page. Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions about my proposed article. You can respond here or on my talk page. Thanks! Weatherby551 (talk) 21:34, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Yucca brevifolia

Folks, there's a particularly eager editor who has focused her attention on a section of the Yucca brevifolia article because it stated something about how climate change will impact the species. She has initiated a lengthy discussion on the talk page, if you care to have a look. Just wondering, since I'm sure you've run into this before, how have you dealt with possibly disruptive editors like this? The article in question is not the proper place for a discussion on climate change; it very much appears to be turning into a WP:BATTLEGROUND. Thanks, Rkitko 19:36, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Climate Sensitivity and Climate State article

There is currently a discussion at Climate state and Climate sensitivity (see talk pages). The Climate Sensitivity was recently updated by me, still requires some work and could use more cleanup. Climate state is a new article, devoted to the different climate states Prokaryotes (talk) 20:45, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Canfield ocean and Euxinia

I made the suggestion to either rename "Canfield ocean" to Euxinia (currently links to the similar term Anoxia) or to create a new page for Euxinia. Looking for input. https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Canfield_ocean Prokaryotes (talk) 20:47, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

New draft for The Climate Reality Project article

Hi there! I'm not sure how active this WikiProject is, but it's included at top of theTalk page for The Climate Reality Project so I wanted to leave a message here to let interested editors know that I have written a new draft for that article. I'm looking for editors to review this draft because I have written it on behalf of, and with input from, the communications team at The Climate Reality Project. For that reason I won't make any edits to the article myself.

There are two major issues I'm hoping to address with my rewritten draft. First, the article currently uses mostly primary sources to support information and needs some restructuring and additional information to meet Misplaced Pages's standards. Second, The Climate Reality Project was formed from the joining together of two predecessor organizations, The Climate Project and the Alliance for Climate Protection. What I'm proposing is that these articles be merged into the article for The Climate Reality Project, where the information about these two organizations would be summarized (as I have done in my draft).

I've explained these issues in more detail on the Talk page and linked to my draft from there. If you think this is something you can help with, I'd really appreciate your help here. Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 20:59, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Category:Earth and atmospheric sciences journals

Hi, could someone here perhaps have a look at this category and its subcats (especially Category:Meteorology journals)? I find the current situation not completely satisfactory. For example, I'm not sure that climatology journals belong in "meteorology". Other journals that currently are in the main cat could perhaps be diffused, but some may be difficult to place in the current subcats. Would it make sense to create a "climatology journals" cat? Would that be a subcat of "meteorology journals", the other way around, or a equal level/parallel subcat within Earth and atmospheric sciences journals? Thanks for any advice! --Randykitty (talk) 16:26, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Climatology seems to cut across headings: Category:Geophysics journals includes Geophysical Research Letters which is a prominent climatology journal, at the other extreme Energy & Environment is the home journal of climate contrarians, but is included in Category:Environmental social science journals. . dave souza, talk 17:17, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Skeptical Science

I imagine a large proportion of you are familiar with the Cook et al. study which claims to have found that <3% of scientific papers explicitly reject man-made global warming. Well it has been criticized by another paper by David Legates et al. The paper (which can be viewed here) claims that only 0.3% of the papers in Cook et al. actually support the consensus. Someone else proposed adding it into the article Skeptical Science, and I wanted to get some feedback as to whether others thought this was or wasn't a good idea.

Lake Erie

Just noticed this yesterday: . This section looks like it could use a major rewrite. The water temperature on Lake Erie, as well as the other Great Lakes, has risen considerably over the past 100 years. This is unequivocal. Wintertime ice coverage has been decreasing rapidly and steadily (obviously with a few exceptions, like this past winter). The section twice references controversy, but provides no source to support the alleged controversy. I added citation needed tags for those assertions. But really the whole thing should either be rewritten with a more fact-based analysis, or just deleted. Right now it is not particularly helpful to the reader in ascertaining how global warming is affecting Lake Erie, or how it might affect the lake in the future. 50.197.55.49 (talk) 18:00, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Americans for Prosperity in scope?

Hello, I recently added the advocacy organization Americans for Prosperity to the Env project and climate change task force, but was reverted by a non-member with an edit summary of out-of-scope. AFP was important in creating the Tea Party movement and in encouraging the movement to focus on climate change, according to The Oxford Handbook of Climate Change and Society. AFP's "No Climate Tax Pledge" campaign played a key role in turning back cap & trade in Obama's 1st term. AFP supports fossil fuel development, including expanding off-shore drilling and the Keystone XL pipeline, and opposes renewable energy tax credits. At the state level, AFP works to thwart and repeal renewable portfolio standards. AFP has announced plans to spend on negative advertising against political candidates who support environmental regulation in 2016. Experienced editor here, new to climate change arena. Thank you! Hugh (talk) 22:10, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

I was the other editor. I'm a member of several projects, which strive to focus their attention on the core articles dealing with those projects. Therefore, if HughD is correct, do organizations such as Center for American Progress, New York Times, Slate (magazine), Huffington Post, need to be included as well? Since all advocate for Climate Change? The Tea Party Movement? Thanks for any input you can give. Onel5969 (talk) 13:51, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

I would like to respectfully request support from the members of this project and task force in including Americans for Prosperity among the articles of interest. By way of analogy, may I mention some similar articles that are currently considered in scope: The Heartland Institute, Cooler Heads Coalition, Donors Trust, Donors Capital Fund, Stop Climate Chaos, Sierra Club; and related articles that are currently in scope: Emissions trading, Climate change alarmism, American Clean Energy and Security Act, Climate change in the United States, Climate change policy of the United States, Politics of global warming, Public opinion on climate change. While this article is the subject of this current nomination, more generally, as a new member I am interested in supporting the project and task force by collaborating to further expand coverage of recent highly significant scholarship on organized climate change denial and its funding, for example,

May I mention I do not support adding The New York Times, Slate (magazine), or the Huffington Post. Thank you for your support. Hugh (talk) 17:13, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
