Someone recently created an entry for biodiversity loss, though it’s currently empty. Personally, I think it’s preferable to have entries for specific environmental problems, insofar as they are considered to pose a global catastrophic risk, rather than a general tag for environmental problems. But I haven’t thought about this much. Do you think there are specific environmental problems we should cover, or were you thinking that a catch-all entry for all such problems would be generally useful?
Ok, I was not searching for biodiversity, so I was not aware of that tag. I guess more people are searching for environment. I do not think there would be too many tags if we also have one for environmental problems, and I do not think we need more environmental tags than these three: climate, biodiversity and the environment.
The combination of environmental problems can be a global catastrophic risk, even the combination of exceeded planetary boundaries and other huge problems.
Thanks. Do you have thoughts on how to call the tag? E.g. environment, environmental problems, planetary boundaries. I think I prefer the first of these.
How about a tag for environmental problems? Now it’s only climate change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_boundaries

Yes, the first one “environment” seems to be expressed in the same way as other tags.
Okay, created an entry here. I’ll try to add some brief content soon.
