Climate Change in the Biology Class Keeps a Low Profile

North Carolina State University have surveyed College level Biology textbooks produced over the last 50 years. Although the challenges of climate change have long been evident, the topic seems to receive scant coverage (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/dec/21/us-college-textbooks-not-addressing-climate-crisis-study). Coverage of climate change solutions expanded since the 1970s. In the 1990s, the issues received improved prominence. Strangely, however, an emphasis on global heating declined, by 80%, in recent texts. For example, fewer than 3 pages in a recent Biology textbook of 1000 pages address climate change. it seems very odd that the single most urgent 'biological' issue receives so little attention in early Biology degree courses.
