Article: Climate change


 * Is the content in the article relevant to the topic? Did anything distract you? The content in the article seems to be relevant to the topic. The topic is very broad and presents a lot of different sub-topics with links to many other pages in almost every sentence. I only got distracted by linking to the other pages to read about the key words listed; however, this is still helpful to fully understand all topics and keywords being discussed.
 * Are the links working? Are the cited sources supportive of the claims within the article? Yes, this article has several links of key terms within each paragraph linking to other Wikipedia articles and the links are working. I did come across a few broken links in under the "Notes" and "Further reading" sections. The cited sources appear to support the article's claims.
 * Does every fact have a reliable and suitable reference? Where is the information being pulled from? Every fact within this article does not seem to be cited. Specifically, the first few paragraphs of the article seem like it could use citations. There is also a section within the article where "citation needed" comment is made. There are only three references listed from two reputable sources: Cambridge University Press and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). However, under notes section there are 121 different referenced materials. There is also another section called "Further reading" with seven referenced materials.
 * Are there any conversations in the talk pages and what are they about? In the talk pages, someone mentioned that there appears to be direct copy/paste and plagarism. Someone also suggests to re-word the opening to state human activities driving climate change as scientific opinion rather than a fact.

The environment is much different than 50 years ago with the ocean being 1°F warmer and melting sea ice contributing to a five to ten percentage increase in air water vapor potentially leading to more severe storms.
