== The Williams College Climate Initiative ==
The undersigned.
(in 2005 or 2006)
'''Background information:'''
* Williams College is responsible for emitting 34,700 tons of carbon dioxide per year, a quarter of Williamstown’s total emissions. This is approximately 11.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per person at Williams College.
* More than 37 colleges and universities have set an example by meeting or beating the Kyoto Protocol agreement for emissions reductions. For example, see the recent article [http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=0&did=962257011&SrchMode=1&sid=1&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1137341057&clientId=3620#fulltext The Greening of America's Campuses] (New York Times, Jan 8 2006).
* Williamstown has already adopted a climate action plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10% percent by 2010. Williams College is a member of this community and an integral part of the town’s plan.
* Natural variability alone cannot account for the recent changes in global climate. Scientific models can explain climate changes in the last 50 years only by taking into account greenhouse gas emissions attributable to humans.
