As the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increase, we are coming to experience a world of ?ecological surprises.? Climate change in fact changes everything, prompting us to re-examine our ideas about what is natural, what is inevitable, and what is just. Besides learning the facts, there is a lot to think about, and this weekly freshman seminar will encourage students to reflect critically about what is happening in their world and their personal response to it.
