- I would say this is a credible source because this is in a newspaper. If this were a bad credible source then it would be giving us false information.
- This talks about how global warming ties to extinction. It is being called "the great dying" because 90% of ocean speices and 70% of land speices are in the biggest mass extinction.
- I don't believe this source because all the information is not real given facts. These facts could happen sooner or even later than 2050.
