Coral bleaching Deforestation Drought Economic loss Flooding Health impacts Crop failures Social disruption Solutions As you progress through this chapter, try to identify as many solutions to anthropogenic climate change as you can. What could you personally do to help address this issue? Consider how each action or solution might affect items in the concept map above.
