Summary

Britain’s sweltering heat is turning deadly, with record-breaking temperatures triggering a surge in heat-related ambulance calls — a silent killer that’s exposing the nation’s deadly vulnerability. Lawmakers are demanding urgent action: workplace heat limits, air conditioning in hospitals and schools, and smarter building designs to withstand rising temperatures. With thousands already dying from past heatwaves and climate scientists warning the crisis will worsen, the UK’s outdated infrastructure and inadequate adaptation plans are under fire. The clock is ticking — and doing nothing carries a steep human and economic cost. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
