BEGIN TEXT: Dear Foreign Secretary: Thank you for your October 16 letter regarding the Hadley Centre's recently published global climate map. The map vividly underscores the potentially devastating impacts of climate change world-wide and the urgent need for global action to cut emissions. As you know, President Obama is committed to taking aggressive action at home and to working with our international partners to achieve a successful outcome at the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen. In this regard, I thank your government for hosting the recent meeting of the Major Economies Forum (MEF). Prime Minister Brown's and your personal participation sent a valuable signal of the importance of reaching a deal in Copenhagen. We look forward to continued close cooperation with your government on climate change, particularly in the coming weeks. Sincerely yours, Hillary Rodham Clinton End text. CLINTON
