Talk:Climate emergency

Changed to redirect

Just some rationale (in addition to the edit comment): Some media organisations (such as the Guardian) are using the term as a synonym to "Climate change", so I think a redirect there is more appropriate. (Plus this articles content is a halfway house between disambiguation, redirect, and duplication of the "Climate emergency decleration" page - never a good state!)

I agree but note this is another place where Wikipedia's use of "climate change" and "global warming" requires explanation. But rather than repeat that here, please see the abundant discussion of scope and article name of "climate change" and "global warming" at Talk:Climate change.

I agree with Sean Heron that this should be a redirect, and not a separate page. I'm not fussed about whether this should redirect to global warming or less appropriately, but better than current state, climate emergency declaration. Btw, the definition is not supported by the given source: the word slogan is not in BBC article. @Prokaryotes, again the request to edit with more care.

I did not add the word slogan. It was added by a different editor, if you take issue with it, you should ask that editor. Besides, clearly also a slogan, but really we should first establish if we merge articles before we talk details. prokaryotes (talk) 20:00, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CNN Pence

So CNN's Tapper is asking Pence about climate emergency. But is what people are calling a climate emergency, is it a threat? Do you think it is a threat, man-made climate emergency is a threat? https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/24/politics/mike-pence-climate-crisis/index.html prokaryotes (talk) 19:39, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

Because climate emergency is not always mentioned in relation to a declaration I rather merge climate emergency declaration into this article. In fact the broader term climate emergency is much more common. For more context see this BBC article(What is a climate emergency?). Basically we only have to move the declaration article into this one and made it more clear in the lede.
