全球暖化的问题正在影响英国，甚至比预期中对英国有更大的冲击。 气候转变令各大城市近来更多和更密的雨量，增加了水浸的危机。
屋企、基建和公共服务需要更进一步适应气候转变，去应对水浸、湿度、热浪的问题。预计气候转变有机会带来100亿的损失，但现时英国政府对此没有太多积极应对措施。
UK warned it is unprepared for climate chaos
The UK is woefully unprepared to deal with changes occurring to the climate, government advisers say.
A report by the independent Climate Change Committee predicts warming will hit the UK harder than first thought.
It warns of more severe heatwaves, especially in big cities, and more intense rainfall, with an increased flood risk across most of the UK.
It says homes, infrastructure and services must be made resilient to floods, heat and humid nights.
The authors of the report on adaptation, or "climate-proofing", warn that global warming can cause damage running into tens of billions of pounds over short periods - and they say they're frustrated at the lack of government action.
The committee, also known as the CCC, says the UK is even worse prepared than it was five years ago, at the time of its last report on the risks of climate change.
The CCC is an independent group of experts set up to provide the government with advice on the climate crisis.
The chairwoman of the CCC's sub-committee on adaptation, Baroness Brown, said ministers appeared to be deterred from taking action by the upfront costs of protecting infrastructure. This is because the benefits sometimes are not seen for several years.
"They think they can put adaptation off until tomorrow," she said. "But now's the time for urgent action."
