London tubes, schools and homes 'face climate change chaos'

Heatwave of 2018 will become the capital's new normal, claims Green party in report

The report, commissioned by the Green party on the London Assembly, paints a bleak picture of life in the capital as global temperatures increase by 1.5C above pre-industrial levels - a conservative estimate based on current projections.
