London got a glimpse of the future normal during its eighth annual climate week after an event dedicated to discussing the impacts of extreme heat at the London School of Economics was cancelled because the venue was too hot.
The event was due to have been held in a near-100-year-old building that, like many in Britain, relies on natural ventilation and fans to cool visitors rather than air conditioning. The organisers said they called it off due to a risk to public health.
