Notes on Climate Change: it should definitely be at least semi-protected, too many people would try to edit this article. it appears to be a well-written article, all the citations I checked worked (or were books) and the links that I checked contained relevant and accurately cited materials from unbiased sources. I'm kind of surprised that there isn't a chart or a section on a brief history of climate change, a summary of the history of it on earth based on the evidence we have, there are lots of different ones, like Milankovitch cycles, but nothing as comprehensive as I'd like.

Notes on regional impacts of global warming: I'm kind of surprised the sections that are summaries of other wikipedia articles do not cite sources for their bullet point summaries, it seems like something that should be expected, but I guess it isn't as necessary as the source is the full article, unless they are all from the same source "This article incorporates public domain material from the US Environmental Protection Agency document: US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) (14 June 2012), International Impacts & Adaptation: Climate Change: US EPA, US EPA", in which case I am not thrilled that it only uses once source. I also found a broken citation link "http://hqweb.unep.org/yearbook/2010/", and some of these sources do not look as unbiased as the ones in the climate change article. This article is not up to the same level as the previous one.
