a. Andrew Bomford.
b. Reporter for BBC News.
c. Pretty credible.
d. This source says that Lake Chad in Africa is dried up.
e. Yes.
f. I believe this source because it has pictures and he's a reporter for the news so he has to get information from a professional.

a. Unknown.
b. Unknown.
c. Nope.
d. The source of this site is saying that "the drying up of Lake Chad is used as a prime example of a catastrophic result of global warming. However, it is generally accepted that the evidence remains insufficient to establish such an attribution. It is apparently considered to be far more likely to result from other factors, such as population increase and over-grazing, and regional climate variability."
e. No.
f. The source is not credible. This person can be anyone at all.
