Environmental governance

I see there hasn't yet been any discussion about this article. Could someone explain why Environmental governance is related? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 04:00, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

It does appear like a rather obvious relationship. One discusses the limits of activities on the planet, the other the required measures to ensure these boundaries aren't violated. __meco (talk) 10:15, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

What about Environmental management wikilink? 99.52.148.237 (talk) 23:49, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Seems a better choice. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:14, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. __meco (talk) 10:57, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Request translation into Nihongo

I think you're requesting the Japanese article be extended, not this article be extended from the Japanese. That request should be made over at ja.wikipedia. If I'm wrong, and it's the other way, please at least point to the ja.wikipedia article. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:17, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Good idea! 209.255.78.138 (talk) 19:05, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Add Environmental management per above discussion, please.

Not if Sustainability or environmental management is linked in the article or in the See also section. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:47, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Add wikilink to Extinction.

Add wikilink to Extinction. 99.112.212.121 (talk) 19:19, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

A bit weak for "See also" alone. See if you can work it into the text. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:19, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

What is Tg N yr?

What is Tg N yr? 99.190.81.3 (talk) 02:23, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Tg N yr-1 = Teragrams of nitrogen per year seems likely. Vsmith (talk) 02:39, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

OK. 99.181.146.135 (talk) 02:31, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

planetary boundary	description	status
1. Climate change	CO2 in the atmosphere	limit exceeded
2. Biodiversity loss	Number of species becoming extinct per million per year	limit exceeded
3a. Nitrogen cycle 3b. Phosphorous cycle	amount of N2 per year due to man removed from the atmosphere amount of phosphorous per year into the oceans	limit exceeded almost exceeded
4. Atmospheric ozone	ozone concentration	not exceeded
5. Ocean acidification	average degree of seawater saturation in aragonite	almost exceeded
6. Global potable water use	consumption for freshwater per person	almost exceeded
7. land use	percentage of land used in agriculture	almost exceeded
8. chemical pollution	concentration of toxic substances, plastics, endocrine disruptors, heavy metals, radioactive into the environment	not exceeded
9. atmospheric aerosols	concentration of particulate in the atmosphere	not exceeded

Why link an obscure hypothesis (this one) to articles about real phenomena? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:37, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

How is the cover articles of Scientific American obscure? 99.109.126.34 (talk) 17:12, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

The cover articles of Scientific American are unlikely to be scientifically accurate, and, there being hundreds of them, may be fairly obscure. Perhaps you're suffering from WP:RECENTISM. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:20, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
