US college biology textbooks failing to address climate crisis, study says

Coverage of climate crisis solutions is slim in textbooks, with many references moving to the back pages

US college-level biology textbooks miss the mark on offering solutions to the climate crisis, according to a new analysis of books over the last 50 years.

Fewer than three pages in a typical 1,000-page biology textbook from recent decades address climate change, according to the new study, despite experts warning it is humankind’s biggest problem.
