Original Note:
Most of the shrinking of Lake Chad occurred in the 1960s and 1970s, and has been stable since then. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/oct/22/lake-chad-shrinking-story-masks-serious-failures-of-governance#:~:text=The%20conclusion%20%E2%80%93%20uncomfortably%20for%20the,each%20year%20and%20across%20decades The most significant global warming has happened while the lake has been stable, so it is misleading to state this as a main reason for the decline. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-noaa-analyses-reveal-2019-second-warmest-year-on-record
