<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">The International
Panel on Climate Change reports that the "warming of the climate
system is unequivocal." However, the extent of its impact
will depend on how we as a world respond to the challenge. As
scientists, engineers, academics, writers, students, and citizens we
all have something to offer to the effort to understand, mitigate, and
adapt to climate change, no matter what our field of study. The MIT
Focus on Climate Change symposium aims to highlight the connection
between climate change and the academics and research in departments
across the institute.</font></blockquote>
