Scary to see extreme heat become the norm in the UK - this will cost more and more lives.
What is govt doing to protect us from these effects of climate change that are already with us?

As horrific fires rage in LA, news comes that world has breached 1.5 degree limit on global heating. When will political leaders join the dots & take urgent far-reaching action? Leave all new fossil fuels in the ground & prioritise building resilience - home retrofits, flood defences & much more
