Coverage of climate change in introductory biology textbooks, 1970–2019

Caption

Biology textbooks cover the topic of climate change in less than 3 of 1000 pages, despite the tremendous threat the problem poses to humans and habitats. In the 1990's, 15% of the passage addressing climate change focused on solutions; in the 2010's, coverage of solutions dropped to 3% of the passage.
