“It’s crazy how we are talking about these sorts of values, I’ve never seen the models coming up with these values.Climate change, which has pushed up global temperatures by 1.2C on pre-industrial levels, is making heatwaves longer, more intense and more likely. Water levels at some of Yorkshire’s reservoirs have fallen so much during the heatwave that visitors have been sunbathing on areas that are normally submerged.
Cabinet Office minister Kit Malthouse, chairing yesterday’s meeting, claimed it was unfair to criticise the Prime Minister and insisted Mr Johnson had been fully briefed on the situation.
