Reply to comment by uninstallIE in Climate Impacts Are Increasing; Textbooks Aren’t Keeping Pace: "biology textbooks are failing to share adequate information about climate change" by Additional-Two-7312

That's more ecology than biology imo. They definitely teach how temperature affects such things as reproduction and sex, which I would expect most high schoolers to be able to connect to changes in climate.

For my own understanding, do you think Ecology is a higher level science that should be taught in a collegiate setting, or should we be exposing student to this subject (and climate change) in public schools?

All professionals in all disciplines need to understand climate change and make it part of their practice because it impacts everything. A medical doctor needs to understand how changing climate will impact their patients, for example.
