>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.
