SUMMARY:Coping with climate change and environmental degradation scien
 ce\, universities\, and a great American challenge\, Chaos & Complex S
 ystems Seminar\, Bernard Z. Friedlander and Noah M. Friedlander\, Univ
 ersity of Hartford
DESCRIPTION:Under pressures of Climate Change\, national political sta
 sis\, and other potent factors\, American universities\, colleges\, an
 d schools face harsh challenges unlike any our professions have ever e
 ncountered. This is due largely to profound contradictions between nat
 ional needs in our changing society and pressures within and between o
 ur varied and competing American sub-cultures. This presentation views
  the issues in four major categories:
\n
\n    Evidence: facts about s
 uppressive forces affecting science\, academia\, and education.
\n    
 Limited Time: an urgently critical factor.
\n    Suppressive Impacts: 
 Climate Change and Environmental Degradation as force multipliers.
\n 
    Prescription: NEW WAYS TO EXPAND AN AGENDA FOR POSITIVE CHANGE.
