Research one geography-related news story per week from the popular media
Geography-related current events can be found in the popular media (print newspapers like the Washington Post, magazines, and/or online websites such as National Geographic, Science Daily, etc). News stories with geography-related content can include anything related to weather (hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, record snowfalls or temperature, etc), natural disasters (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, etc), climate-change/global warming, pollution, demographics, border & boundary changes/disputes, mapping, species habitat, water, etc. The one realm into which I do not want you to stray is anything related to outer space (planets, asteroids, NASA-anything). Granted, geography encompasses and touches an enormous range of scientific and cultural areas, but this is a geography, not an astronomy course For a story to be considered “current,” it must have been published within the past two weeks of it being used for submission.

The article in United Nations News published by Geonhui Lee in Sept 2021 titled “Air quality improvements from COVID 19 lockdowns confirmed”. It states that Covid 19’s precautionary measures especially total lockdowns brought cleaner air to many major cities in some parts of the world. But still, it is not enough to stop the climate change caused by global warming.
