Option 1

 * Article title: Wet-bulb temperature
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This was the article I chose for my evaluation exercise. It is significantly lacking in the climate change section of the article. Additionally, although the idea f wet-bulb temperature is sometimes hard to grasp, providing more practical examples for how this metric is used, especially as a climate variable, can help flush out the article. Lastly, although the article skims the health implications of increasing global temperatures, the article could do better in addressing heat-related morbidity associated with wet-bulb condition(also know as wet-bulb effect), which communities are most vulnerable to this increase in high humidity and possible limitations to wet-bulb temperature.

Option 2

 * Article title: Climate Emergency Mobilization Office, City of Los Angeles
 * Article Evaluation: There is no article highlighting the new CEMO office, why it was created and it's goals to steer heat equity in Los Angeles.

Option 3

 * Article title: Update STAND-L.A. Article (Stand Together Against Neighborhood Drilling- Los Angeles)
 * Article Evaluation: Past feed has stated that the article sound like an advertised and lacked links to media sources and past accomplishments. As an coalition advocating to end oil drilling i Los Angeles, STAND-LA has been instrumental in community organizing and advocacy. I would like update this page to include current and past campaigns, research associated with frontline communities working with STAND-LA, and updates on the the most recent decisions to phase out oil drilling.
