This weeks article is about how lizards are in danger of extinction because rising global temperature. The problem is that because of the warm temperatures they need to stay in the shade all the time instead of going to eat or getting a mate. By this rate 20% of the lizards will be extinct by 2080. By this lizards eat a lot of insect and they are eaten by bird so they become extinct the food chain will be very affected. When lizards over heat they cannot sweat like mammals so it is harder to survive. The 5% of population of lizards are extinct right now. Maybe the ones that not die, can't reproduce so the population gets affected.
Our opinion is that this is really a bad news and it do affects our ecosystem. This is because their extinction they will affect the food chain and that will affect us. Also this is a sign showing that global warming is already having effects on our planet and its organism. This warming continues not only the lizards will become extinct but other organisms like us. We really hope this problem gets solved and we can save lizards.
