Your answer would be D). Increasing coastal flooding
___________________________________________________
It would be your answer because climate change right now means that the world is getting warmer, in other words, pollution is making the atmosphere hotter to the point where heat is trapped inside the earth, and the climate is changing by getting hotter. Because of that, ice capsules are melting and adding more water to the ocean, which is making coastal places more flooded.

Answer choice A). decreasing melting of ice, is INCORRECT because of climate change, melting of ice is INCREASING, not decreasing. Right now, ice capsules are melting and would continue the trend for a while.
Answer choice B). decreasing migration of pests and pathogens, is INCORRECT because of the heat that's on the earth right now, pests and pathogens are migrating more than before.
Answer choice C). increasing freshwater sources, is INCORRECT because we are not gaining any fresh water from climate change, it would be more realistic to say that we are gaining more salt water since melting ice capsules are adding water to the salt water in the ocean.
