 * Article title: The Climate Gap
 * Article Evaluation
 * The page for this topic has many grammatical errors and is not filled out as much as it needs to be. It mostly draws from a 2009 report on the Climate Gap that focuses mainly on California. There is no mention of rural communities or anything mentioned outside the article. Much of the Wikipedia article itself is just paraphrased from this source. This does not help elaborate on the impact on communities other than California, which has a different economic, cultural, and racial makeup than the rest of the United States. To project the data of one state onto the whole of America is a bias itself, and there will need to be more elaboration on more general impacts of climate change on disadvantaged communities throughout the country.
