Sea level rise

 * Article Evaluation
 * Not biased, good facts but they read too long and can be somewhat confusing considering it is very number heavy (especially the lead), good citations but a few are missing where needed, and the entire article reads too long.

Environmental impact of the energy industry
=== The biofuel use section needs citations, some of the information is old and needs to be updated to more recent studies, Energy conservation section needs additional information and tactics. States that consumption of fossil fuels leads to climate change and doesn't offer information on how some deny this, it shouldn't be stated as a fact. citations are good. ===

2011–2017 California drought
=== "In 2013, the total rainfall was less than 34% of what was expected." might need citation. Article may benefit from a section explaining where CA gets most of its water from (colorado river, aquifers, desalination, etc.) and explaining why we have to outsource it. Maybe also updated information or a section with new results from recent years. Expand on the mitigation section. Citations all work, found no problems, most from adequate sources. === https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?CA

Automotive oil recycling
=== The article may benefit from a section explaining how we could begin using this, and more facts about how it would benefit the environment, industries, etc. The REOB section explains how "some experts suggest it reduces the durability of the resulting pavement." but doesn't explain the benefits of using it, or any info/research suggesting otherwise. Explains how it is done but doesn't fully explain its uses. Citation 2, 3,5, 6, 7 don't link to anything, but article could use more info. === https://highways.dot.gov/public-roads/september-2017/whats-your-asphalt

2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference
=== The article is very long, and may need condensing in some sections. The Carbon Footprint section is very short, and needs some additional writing. The talk page suggests the article contains bias and "reads like a PR statement for COP28, not objective information." and many say it is not neutral at all. Many citations from news sources. ===
