maybe tweak?

Very nice! It might help newbies if the circles had labels. In particular I had to think to realize the mountain + sky pic meant lithosphere (once you ignore the atmosphere). NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:59, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

It reminds me of rock-paper-scissors-Spock-lizard. In this image, the ten connections have unique annotations, which makes for a better image. Different elements correspond to different information. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:31, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

NewsAndEventsGuy, User:Femkemilene, Very nice? Artistic, perhaps. To serve as a logo? It does not communicate anything useful. My gut reaction is to cut it from Climate system as serving no improvement. It needs a caption. Every image connects to every other image with the same thickness double arrow-line. This says nothing more than "everything is connected". --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:31, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

That's what RSs about the 5 parts of the climate system say. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 08:01, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

@NEAG: never saw your initial post, but I had the same doubts about the lithosphere picture so I changed it to one without much sky. You still think words would improve it?

@SJ. NEAG is right that this is quite similar to what our sources do. I have taken the diagram I found in Ruddimans book (cited in climate change), and adjusted it for Wikipedia use. Ideally, I'd like a simplified version of a figure like this: https://www.globalchange.gov/browse/multimedia/modeling-climate-systembut I have no idea how to make that. There are so many connections between all of the different components that there isn't a single word per arrow that can capture it. Femke Nijsse (talk) 16:11, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
