Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

This is the best summary I could come up with:
DUBAI — Nearly 200 countries struck a breakthrough climate agreement Wednesday, calling for a transition away from fossil fuels in an unprecedented deal that targets the greatest contributors to the planet’s warming.
The deal came swiftly — with no discussion or objection — in a packed room in Dubai following two weeks of negotiations and rising contention.
It is the first time a global climate deal has specifically called to curb the use of fossil fuels.
