SUNY Canton professor to give Wednesday talk about behaviorology and global climate change

Posted

CANTON -- A SUNY Canton professor will give a lecture on the value of behaviorology in solving global climate change problems.

Dr. Stephen Ledoux will speak at 6 p.m. on Wednesday in Nevaldine North, room 102. The event is free and open to the public.

"Behaviorology is the natural science of why human behavior happens, a natural science to help build a sustainable society in a timely manner," he sai

he lecture will reflect some themes in Ledoux's latest book, which is titled "Running Out of Time - Introducing Behaviorology to Help Solve Global Problems."

"Natural scientists are working to solve problems like global warming within the limited time frame available before we experience its worst effects," Ledoux said. "In that process, scientists note that solutions require changes in human behavior, yet they have lacked definitive access to a natural science of behavior. We now have that, which will be increasingly valuable for solving local and global problems."
