Real concept?

I think we could do with some evidence that this is a real concept. Global warming aside, human impacts on the environment are almost exclusively local or regional, not global, AFAIK. Rd232 12:47, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've added {{unreferenced}} and {{disputed}} templates for the above concern. TheJC ^Talk_{Contributions} 19:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"human impacts on the environment are almost exclusively local or regional, not global:" to understand how wrong that statement is you have to look into climate research back a few decades. At the South Pole, the snow turning to ice has accummulated and captured as a record nuclear fallout, lead (Pb) from car gasoline, and pesticide use. And that when these changed, then nuclear testing was taken out of the atmosphere, then unleaded gas was introduced, and certain pesticides were changed the levels in whatever current level of snow recorded those changes. So until a reader recognizes that you will forever spin in a circular argument. --enm 16 Aug 2006 18:30 (UTC)

Yes it is a real concept but unfortunately it is not the concept that is being portrayed here. Though human impacts are certainly the central driver in many of the concepts talked about in global change the term itself is neutral - i.e. it simply means the study of the various components of change as listed at the beginning of the article, the best known of which (and possibly biggest component as well) is climate change. As someone added, the term is used widely in academia. Ken 20:57, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page could be made into a real gem

This page on global change could be made into an excellent umbrella page for its many sub-topics, but would require a concerted effort on the part of some actual experts.

explanation of revert

I've reverted this, since it references a non-WP:RS - more specifically this document. The "friends" seem to be a Asian-pacific Quaker organization. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 08:52, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Everyone

As part of a class assignment, I had to evaluate a page and I choose this one. It was really well done and well cited Kara0719 (talk) 20:50, 20 February 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Physical evidence ???

I think the physical evidence section is really needed in this article, but the one present now does not address the issue. It is more of a story of how humans impacted the planet. I would name the section sth like "Human impact on the Earth system". It sill obviously needs to be cited. TK synantropijny (talk) 16:04, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copypasted section

The whole History of global-change research section used to be copy-pasted from the IGBP website. One may want to check if other parts of the page has not been plagiarized as well. TK synantropijny (talk) 17:34, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
