What is a global warming And what are the courses of global warming — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A03:2880:31FF:19:0:0:FACE:B00C (talk) 08:09, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

We are not going to write your Gr12 essay for you, however many times you ask. Wikipedia has several relevant articles, some of which are showcased in this portal or in Portal:Climate change. Repetition of the same question is unconstructive and will be removed. Certes (talk) 12:02, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Why is Generation Z listed as a geography topic.

On December 13 2022 the topic of Generation Z was listed as a geography related topic. The page of Generation Z makes no mention of geography. Grinhelm (talk) 16:23, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

WikiProject Geography has its banner on Talk:Generation Z, probably because demographic cohorts fall within geography. Pinging Nerd271 who added it. Certes (talk) 18:29, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

"demographic cohorts fall within geography" I didn't know that, interesting. What else in terms of demography also falls under geography? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:36, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
