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.

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.
