Talk:Effects of climate change on humans

Not sure if this really needs its own page, as a lot of this information is covered on may of the other articles on climate change. I'll add some links to the other ones, and if someone with more experience wants to do some further merging/editing, feel free.

Add I PAT (human Population * Affluence * Technology = environmental Impact)?

Add I PAT ? ... (Human impact of climate change not the same) Human Impact = human Population * Affluence * Technology ... Planetary boundaries; Appropriate Technology or Holocene extinction also ? 99.181.151.5 (talk) 22:39, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

That's human impact ''on'' climate change, not human impact ''of'' climate change. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:18, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Or Impact of climate change on humans? That seems to be many loosely connected wp articles already. 99.119.128.35 (talk) 23:36, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

That's the stated purpose of this article. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:31, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Merge with The Effect of Climate Change on Human Health – Malaria

The Effect of Climate Change on Human Health – Malaria is a short orphan just as Effects of climate change on humans is a short orphan. Because the latter is the broader topic, I recommend that the former be merged here. Neelix (talk) 20:42, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Sounds good. 99.119.131.205 (talk) 02:31, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Appears to redirect here now currently. 99.181.151.111 (talk) 05:11, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

"Public goods" = public Good (economics), wikilink.

"Public goods" = public Good (economics), wikilink. 97.87.29.188 (talk) 19:20, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Wrong. It's public goods, if anything. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Ozone Depletion

I note that in the introduction the article mentions 'ozone depletion' as a product of climate change. This is not the case - this problem was unrelated. Should it be removed? JTansut (talk) 20:19, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Would that be instead a Human impact on the environment, as related to Planetary boundaries? 216.250.156.66 (talk) 19:55, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Regional effects of global warming = "every region of the world"

Regional effects of global warming = "every region of the world" 99.119.131.248 (talk) 01:13, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

??? If it's every region, then it's not "regional effects". — Arthur Rubin (talk) 06:30, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Abundent Original Research

This article is full of original research and opinion. I have removed quite a bit, but don't have time to go through every singe source to make sure that they have been summarized accurately. Arzel (talk) 00:07, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Also, climate change in its generalest term means hot to cold and cold to hot. It seems the article focuses mainly on the current cycle. Anyways, --Threeafterthree (talk) 01:25, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

what is a "generalest "? 216.250.156.66 (talk) 00:57, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

I meant most common form or generalist(sp)...--Threeafterthree (talk) 01:45, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Add current slow global warming (with explanation as to why slower currently), but mid-term acceleration in warming resources?

Or what this be more appropriate in Effects of climate change/Effects of global warming? 216.250.156.66 (talk) 19:17, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Recommend clarification of wording instead of lede deletion ...

The effects of climate change on humans have been understood to be responsible today, or predicted to be responsible in the future, for significant economic losses, as well as loss of life and wellbeing or health. In unstable or fragile regions or communities, the additional burden of climatic changes triggered by global warming may have further negative impacts in social, political or security terms.

El Niño-Southern Oscillation and Civil disorder resource

El Niños may inflame civil unrest; Climate pattern correlates with increased risk of conflict By Janet Raloff October 8th, 2011; Vol.180 #8 (p. 16) Science News, regarding Solomon Hsiang of Princeton University and his coauthors at Columbia University report in the Aug. 25 Nature (journal), with comments by statistician Andrew Solow of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts and Neil Johnson of the University of Miami and Yaneer Bar-Yam of the New England Complex Systems Institute in Cambridge, Mass; excerpt ...

About every seven years, climates in tropical regions swing between conditions dominated by an El Niño and those moderated by a La Niña (cooling in equatorial Pacific waters). During El Niño years, the likelihood that a new civil conflict would erupt in equatorial nations was roughly 6 percent, or twice that for La Niña periods.
