A global warning

Regarding "In Denial: A Fog of Misinformation on Warming Confuses Some" (Oct. 26 editorial):

Another study came out last week that should serve as a warning to anyone who is wavering in their belief that global warming is real and already occurring. The UK government released a sobering world map showing the effects of a seven-degree Fahrenheit temperature increase. Sea levels would likely rise, along with an increase in the number and severity of droughts and forest fires.

When the world gathers in Copenhagen in less than 40 days, the United Kingdom will be pushing for the most ambitious deal possible that will help avoid the dangerous impacts that the map illustrates. We hope all other countries do too. The interactive map can be found at www.actoncopenhagen.decc.gov.uk.
