We watched the video about climate change again today. They were talking about if climate change is really to blame for the rise in water. They dove down to look at the coral reefs and found out that they are dying and there is not very much marine life. Then the video talked about Lake Chad in Africa that is loosing water. The lake has decreased by 90%. Since the earth is warming the water from Lake Chad is all evaporating and isn't falling back down to the earth as rain. The people who rely on Lake Chad are struggling because with the lake drying up the food supply is getting smaller and smaller.They went to the river that feeds into Lake Chad to try and get some information. The mouth of the river that empties into the river is getting really small so there isn't much water being fed into the lake. Then they started talking about the causes of climate change. Most scientists think that humans are responsible for climate change. But there are some people who don't think so. Senator Inhoff is one of the people that doesn't think humans are completely to blame. The Amazon is contributing to climate change because the trees are being cut down at an alarming rate and when trees are cut down they release carbon into the atmosphere,
