Which article are you evaluating?
(Effects of climate change on humans)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because it's related to my class themes topic and I'm genuinely interested in this. The effects of climate change on humans is a very important matter that needs to be addressed because it's specifically affecting low-income BIPOC economically, socially, and environmentally. I thought this article was interesting, but there's definitely room for improvement.
