wikification

I removed the 'needs to be wikified' tag on 23 march, after adding internal wiki links and correcting syntax of the external links. If there's more wikification that needs to be done, please do it, or indicate to me here (I'm watching) what needs to be done. Thanks. --CathCarey (talk) 21:01, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just emptied out the external links section, as it contained mostly news articles about climate change in China. As most if not all of these constitute reliable sources, I'll post them here if anybody wants to use them to build up the article.

Clarification needed in section References regarding ... * Update: Climate change: Holding back hail

Clarification needed in section References regarding ...

Relevance? And doesn't that counteract the claim that climate change causes insured damage? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:39, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Art, please attempt to focus, you are again not helping to clarify wp articles ... see Debate over China's economic responsibilities for climate change mitigation, this article. 99.181.145.99 (talk) 19:16, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you frequently introduce discussions of topic A linking to topic B on topic C's page. And you've been edit warring to include a Swiss insurance company's estimates of damage due to global warming on multiple articles. This statement notes that global warming may reduce damage due to hail, which the Swiss company undoubtedly did not take into account.
But relevance to this article is still questionable. It might relate to a different article on climate change in China, but it does not relate at all to the subject of this article. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:55, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Look at where the Nature (journal) Update is now in the article and who put it there. One must endeavor to understand first, and attempt to communicate second, please. 99.181.157.60 (talk) 18:04, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Nature article by Tim Reid has original article citations by Xie, B., Zhang, Q. & Wang, Y. Trends in hail in China during 1960–2005. Geophysical Research Letters doi: 10.1029/2008GL034067 (2008).

Removed; clearly irrelevant to this article. Thanks for pointing it out. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:19, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

China to cap energy use in national low-carbon plan; Limit is expected to form cornerstone of five-year plan to curb surging greenhouse gas emissions by Tania Branigan in Beijing via guardian.co.uk 4 August 2011 , excerpt

A cap on energy consumption is expected to be at the heart of a Chinese low-carbon plan to be issued this year, experts believe, amid reports that officials have now agreed its level. China is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, making up a quarter of the global total. Experts say setting an energy limit would add certainty to the country's attempts to rein in emissions and should make it easier for emissions trading schemes to get off the ground. The cap has been anticipated for some time but is now thought likely to emerge in the low-carbon plan understood to have been broadly approved by a panel set up by the state council, China's cabinet, and chaired by the premier, Wen Jiabao. It should be formally passed later this year. Reuters reported[1] that officials have settled on a total energy cap of 4.1bn tonnes of coal equivalent (TCE) by 2015 – a level more than 25% higher than last year. Analysts warn that the plan has yet to be nailed down and that a cap could still be delayed by disagreements, to re-emerge in a later policy document. ...

China set to cap energy use in national low-carbon plan By David Stanway in Beijing Aug 4, 2011 via Reuters. 99.181.138.215 (talk) 00:35, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
