Mild support and thank you for starting this! The merger won't be easy. Bits of it might be mergeable to History of climate change policy and politics and bits to Climate change denial and bits to somewhere else (politics of climate change?) but a load of it is probably in need of deletion anyhow. The article is 63 kB large and most of it was written in 2007. Most likely hopelessly out of date. Mind you the pageviews are quite high, around 300 currently. And I see there is some content there that provides a good balance. I haven't reviewed it in depth. But I know we have too many similar, overlapping climate change articles...

@EMsmile If this merge is agreed I have no objection to you moving as much as you like from this article to climate change denial. If this merge is not agreed I expect a subsequent proposal by you to merge global warming controversy into climate change denial would succeed. I know these binary merge discussions can be a bit limiting, but on the other hand for very free-ranging discussions like the ones about climate apocalypse we likely have to wait for ages for a non-involved editor to close the discussion.

Oppose If you want to encourage others to slim down the controversy article, the collegial thing to do is request that on the appropriate talk. WP:RSs contain abundant material on History of CC politics that could be added to this article. Id already started updating a few months back and was thinking of doing a through job of making this article reflect the best available WP:RS like I did with the main Politics of CC article back in 2021. That sort of undertaking takes hundreds of hours of research - can't see why anyone would make that sort of effort if the article's value to readers is going to be reduced by such sub optimal merges.

Problems with this article
This article is actually quite new and was mainly written by User:Jbeutum. It contains a lot of content that is not specific to the "history of climate change policy and politics", like the section on "controversies". I am not sure if we really need this article or what its scope should be. When does the "history" start and end? It would need to integrate better with Politics of climate change.

Although it can be tedious you might have more success just gradually deleting or moving the duplicate or out of scope stuff. Chidgk1 (talk) 17:40, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
