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 am choosing the article Climate change adaptation because I am interested in to what extent species, including humans, will adapt to the current changing climate. Climate change is caused by different factors, mostly human-driven and it's consequences are visible. This article topic matters because we are facing a climate emergency that will affect our livelihoods.

My preliminary impression of this article is that it has been thoroughly worked on and has several lead sections.
