The assignment was well written and the flow is logical. In regards to introductory paragraph, i feel that there is not much emphasis on the extend of how climate change can really affect us human. It would be better if some statistics are included such that it shows the urgency of this matter.
I personally like the portion where you extend the ability of floodplains from local scale up to international scale, this portion illustrated the benefits we are enjoying from floodplains in general.
The paragraph on finding new medicine from biodiversity is very clear and lists out how important biodiversity is to humans and the untapped potential that we can obtain from it, but i am clueless if you are listing Dimethyl Sulphide's ability to promote clouds that will cut down the sunlight and heat as a benefit for humans or as a negative effect on humans since you said this ability is important. I assume that it have a negative effect on human since you talk about Methylophaga degrading Dimethyl Sulphide and also, from my understanding, the ability to promote clouds to cut down the sunlight and heat is the same as Global Dimming, this ability actually mask the true extend of global warming and climate change. Thus, it would be better if you can explain alittle more about this or readers might mistake the ability to cut down sunglight and reflect heat back into space as a benefit for humans.
In general, i can see that you have put in hardwork and i have no problem understanding your ideas, just a small misconception towards the end of this article.
