WikiProject Climate ChangeThe WikiProject Climate change (shortcut WP:PROCC ) is a collaborative effort to improve our articles related to any climate change throughout Earth's history, including human-caused global warming.

Contents
Scope[edit]
This WikiProject climate change covers all climate change and global warming articles. The major focus should be on articles relating to anthropogenic climate change. This includes
- physical causes and effects of global warming
- effects on the biosphere
- effects on humans
- mitigation, adaptation and geo-engineering
- politics & public opinion/protest
Many articles might include both physical and social aspects. The WikiProject can help bring people together with different expertise. Following up on the Africa Climate Change workshop, we also have a Africa-specific task force.
Hot articles[edit]
In addition to hot articles, an especially important discussion is underway, which right now is about renaming (or merging) Climate change. Join us at Talk:Climate_change#Renaming_this_article_to_solve_confusion NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 16:38, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

To-do[edit]
In order to monitor climate change related articles, place this page, the to-do list below, and any other pages on your watchlist.
Maintenance and upkeep[edit]
Sections of this list may overlap or repeat, if you can help organize it, please do
SPECIFIC PROJECT START UP TASKS
Inventorying project articles and providing for future housekeeping
1. Identify all the templates and categories related to the project, how they are used and what automatic processes are involved with them. Combine/merge/archive/update as needed. Where there are associated bots or automatic processes, test the expected behavior.
Place categories in #Categories etc.
2. Decide on the final details for a project banner (being discussed on talk page).
3. Define the trigger for having the project banner placed on articles. (This will probably be the manual placement of one or more category templates on the article).
4. Compare the set of articles that already have the old banner to the articles you would expect to have it based on step (3). Repair mismatches.
5. Get some expert help applying the project banner (2) to the definition in (3).
6. When done with steps 1-5, all of the project-related articles should have our project banner. Create a test article that includes the definition in (3) and verify it automatically added the test article and placed our project banner.
Assessment
add some step by step tasks here
Miscellaneous
- Polish look and feel of this project page.
- Consider developing a project WP:ADVICEPAGE. Possible topics are citation, conflict management, .... (your ideas here).
- Ensure info for new participants is in synch, in terms of listing here and adding userboxes, and being listed in categories.
GENERIC ONGOING TASKS
A comprehensive listing of articles for cleanup that are tagged with this project's banner is available here.
- Place the {{WikiProject Climate change}} tag on the talk pages of articles and other pages that are within the scope of this WikiProject
- Find editors who have shown interest in this subject and ask them to take a look here
- Maintain the portal, currently located at Portal:Global warming
- Identify articles for creation
- Identify articles for improvement
- Review importance and quality of existing articles
Article alerts[edit]
Writing and improving articles[edit]
- Requested articles
- Earth system model (needs a new page)
- Social cost of carbon (now redirect carbon tax, needs own page)
- Climate communication (needs a new page)
- Discuss climate change articles for specific countries at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Climate change/Climate change articles by country
- Art and Figures
Discuss which figures on climate change should be improved and how atWikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Climate change/Figures and art
- Important articles in need of updating
- Temperature record of the past 1000 years - update with latest research
- Economics of global warming - direly needs updating
- Economic impacts of climate change - needs updating
- Economics of climate change mitigation - doesn't mention actual examples, see talk page
- Climate change adaptation -- needs updating, condensing, and general cleanup; still largely based on IPCC's 3rd assessment.
- Important articles that need a clean-up
- Global warming -- needs to get into top-condition again. Getting the balance right between covering all major aspects and deleting details.
- Mitigation of global warming - unsourced statements, needs condensing
- Climate change and agriculture - unsourced statements
- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - needs condensing, various fixes needed (which?)
- Public opinion on climate change - needs lede expanded
- Shared socioeconomic pathways (needs expansion)
- Portals
- Portal:Global warming needs a lot of work

Possible project advice pages[edit]
- Summarize the perennial debate "global warming" vs "climate change", include inventory of threads where this is substantially discussed
- Recommendations for citations, see related file Wikipedia:IPCC citation and Wikipedia:IPCC citation/AR5
Sort out the different lists[edit]
Merge/rename as appropriate
- (1) Index of climate change articles
- (2) Index of global warming articles This is just a redir to (1)
- (3) Glossary of climate change
- (4) Glossary of global warming This is just a redir to (3)
- (5) Category:Climate change
- (6) Category:Global warming
- (7) Category:WikiProject Climate change articles - populated by applying the talkpage banner.

Basic project structure[edit]
- Improvements to the content and look of this page
- Debug auto-bot populated list of hot articles at WP:WikiProject Climate change/Hot articles
Task forces[edit]
We already have one task force, focused on climate change in Africa. We need a way to advertise task forces on the main page. One option is to copy the method of our own parent project, WP:WikiProject Environment, which lists several task forces on their main page.
Guidelines[edit]
A decision by the Wikipedia community has placed articles relating to climate change under article probation. Editors making disruptive edits may be blocked temporarily from editing the encyclopedia, or subject to other administrative remedies, according to standards that may be higher than elsewhere on Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:General sanctions/Climate change probation for full information and to review the decision. |
Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the project banner WikiProject Climate change. You may also find {{WikiProjectBanners}} useful.

Stub category[edit]
Category:Climate change stubs has now been created to collect stub articles within the scope of this project. Please feel free to put the e {{climate-change-stub}} template onto any article that should be in the category.
I am thinking 'Atmospheric science stubs' should be a sub category of Climate Change stubs rather than the other way around as it has been set up. crandles (talk) 19:16, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
Portals[edit]
Add these portals where relevant:
- Portal:Global warming (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Portal:Environment (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Portal:Renewable energy (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Portal:Energy (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This code produces the portal boxes shown to the right:
- {{Portal|Global warming}}
- {{Portal|Environment}}
- {{Portal|Renewable energy}}
- {{Portal|Energy}}
Templates[edit]
