1 December 2021
- 12:0512:05, 1 December 2021 diff hist 0 m City of Darebin I just changed the placement of one word so that the sentence read correctly. I assume the problem was a typo.

6 May 2021
- 00:1800:18, 6 May 2021 diff hist −1 Magpie-lark →Behaviour and ecology: I've relocated the paragraph about longer breeding cycles into the section on breeding. Previously it was stuck between two paras relating to aggressive territorial behaviour. By the way the claim that magpie larks now have a longer breeding cycle has no supporting reference..
- 00:1300:13, 6 May 2021 diff hist −87 Magpie-lark →Behaviour and ecology: I've deleted "This is providing an amazing opportunity for nature to thrive. " This is a wild and inaccurate over-generalisation. It might be true for for mularks (no reference provided) but human caused climate change is known from extensive scientific literature to be damaging for a vast number of species and ecosystems.

- 13:3113:31, 17 December 2020 diff hist +9 Solar radiation modification I added the word 'directly' because SRM will have some indirect effect on the level of greenhouse gases in the air because by lowering the earth temperature there is lower release of of greenhouse gases from natural carbon sinks eg. the permafrost in the peri-arctic area, soil carbon, forest carbon and ocean clathrates. This point has been made by David Keith.

9 December 2020
- 05:1805:18, 9 December 2020 diff hist +24 m Solar radiation modification I've added two words to make the technical meaning of this sentence clearer - after reading the references for this sentence.
- 05:0105:01, 9 December 2020 diff hist +15 m Solar radiation modification added "reflectivity" because it's a more commonly understood synonym. This should help most readers get an immediate sense of the intended meaning.

1 May 2020
- 17:4317:43, 1 May 2020 diff hist +31 COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden This edit is to make it clear (in accordance with this Wikipedia page Ministerstyre) that Swedish agencies are not 100% automomous - they must operate according to Swedish law so the government can change the actions of the administrative agencies by getting the support of the Swedish Parliament to change the laws or by the government issuing a sub-ordinate law (ordinance).
