I would propose that the article be named "Effects of climate change in the United States". Climate change, as we can (hopefully) all agree is a global thing. What the article actually goes into detail on is the effects of climate change as it relates to the United States such as the recent heat wave. There is a small blurb about the causes in the United States which would fit the title perfectly, but over 80% of the rest of the page is just effects of climate change in the United States and Greenhouse gas emissions in the United States is already a page of its own.
Side note, the reason I am not WP:BOLDing this and making an RMA is because I know that Climate Change topics in general provoke a lot of criticism and accusations of malintent so I wanted to pitch it here first to see if there is general consensus on this before moving forward.

I started to work on including more information about TEK as an adaptation to climate change, and began by reviewing the article on TEK, which has a section on climate change. That whole section included a very long list of climate change impacts to Indigenous people in the US. That is a global article, and while impacts of climate change are certainly relevant to TEK, I don't think a list of climate change impacts to American Indigenous people belongs in that article. So I started moving some of that information over here to the impacts section. More to do, but I'm done for now. Larataguera ( talk) 18:07, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

In the introduction paragraph, Paragraph 1 the word 'Climate Action' takes you to an incorrect link, leading you to the Climate change Mitigation wiki page. I have removed the incorrect link and tried linking it to the corresponding page but there are no links leading to 'Climate action'. Salmaismail222 ( talk) 00:27, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Under the section 'See also' there are multiple links corresponding to the correct page but when clicking on ' Hurricane Katrina and global warming' you are referred to a wiki page titled "Tropical cyclones and climate change". Salmaismail222 ( talk) 01:03, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
In the International cooperation section of the article there are some outdated and some missing sources. I would advise you add some new climate policies that are being incorporated internationally. Milkncooki ( talk) 17:30, 23 April 2022 (UTC).
Under "Climate change by state or territory, " more elaboration should be added. Understanding how climate change policies work in different states and territories is extremely crucial and significant to understanding the basis of Climate change in the United States. The viewpoint seems underrepresented within the article. Salmaismail222 ( talk) 00:57, 21 April 2022 (UTC).
Under "Impacts on animals and wildlife" the section should have more emphasis on the impacts on animals and wildlife, adding more details and reliable sources that are more relevant; the sources are linked to 2015 and although it may seem somewhat relevant as Climate change continues to grow and shift there should be more relevant sources and analysis linked as the topic is underrepresented. Salmaismail222 ( talk) 01:09, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Under "Economic impact" There seems to only be one line explaining the impacts the economy has undergone from climate change. This is very relevant since the economy is the basis of the United States and should be elaborated further on. Salmaismail222 ( talk) 01:16, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Under "International cooperation" it would make sense to add climate change policies not only that the United states are enforcing but also what other countries are putting in place for their own climate regulations and see if the U.S. could learn anything from these policies. Milkncooki ( talk) 17:44, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
Also within the "International Cooperation" section of your article, you could utilize how new electric cars and renewable energy sources are becoming more available leading people across the world to producing less carbon emissions throughout the world. Milkncooki ( talk) 17:53, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
"the EU, the U.S., and Japan are the largest net recipients of trade-embodied carbon dioxide emissions." In other words countries export pollution (and climate change) though the importing of goods.

@ CommonKnowledgeCreator: Your recent edits add about 33% to an article that is already long. Much of your content is incredibly detailed and of short-term interest, especially the year-by-year, and even quarter-by-quarter statistics. I don't have the link, but there is a Wikipedia guideline that we should include content only if it will be notable for readers in ten or twenty years. If you want to persist in anything close to this level of detail, probably it's best to start an article like Insurance and climate change in the United States, and leave only a very concise summary here. — RCraig09 ( talk) 21:34, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
