Inconvenient Truth Fact #2

Global Warming caused the drying up of Lake Chad.

Source #1- http://cei.org/gencon/019,05394.cfm
  • Iain Murray
  • He is a Director of Projects and Analysis and Senior Fellow in Energy, Science and Technology at CEI(Competitive Enterprises Institute). He has also appeared on Fox News and on CNN Headline News.
  • He is credible
  • He says that most of the disappearance of Lake Chad was caused by human overuse and also that Lake Chad is a very shallow lake that has shrunk considerably over time.
  • I believe him because he is a really good source.

Source #2- http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/news-release/releases/2001/01-17.htm

  • Lynn Chandler
  • Works for NASA
  • Somewhat credible
  • The source says that the decrease of Lake Chad was caused by both irrigation demands and climate change.
  • I believe the source because it is decent and the source doesn't seem biased at all.

Source #3- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/25/AR2006052501336.html

  • Warren Bass
  • Writer for the Washington Post
  • Decent credibility
  • He says that global warming did cause the drying up of Lake Chad.
  • I don't believe him because he is not as credible as some of the other sources who said different than what he said.
