This is the best summary I could come up with:

Mental health is also affected, with the risk of suicide twice as high when temperatures rise from 22C to 32C, and poor sleep due to hot nights can cost the economy £60bn a year in lost productivity, the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) reported.

The report recommends nature-based solutions such as parks, trees, ponds and green roofs to cool communities, citing evidence that large cities like London can be up to 8C hotter than surrounding rural areas.

Coating the roofs of buildings with highly reflective white paint was backed by the MPs, with evidence from New York City showing that this can substantially reduce indoor temperatures.

The heat-proofing of homes should build on existing initiatives on insulation and energy efficiency to create a national retrofit programme delivered by local authorities and supported by long term funding, the MPs recommended.

Bob Ward, at the Grantham Institute on Climate Change at the London School of Economics, said: “This careful and measured report correctly identifies the many shortcomings in the government’s feeble approach to managing heatwaves.

“However, the report could have been even clearer that it is the abysmal state of Britain’s housing stock, with many homes too poorly designed and constructed to keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer, that is killing thousands of people every year,” he said.

Death of the poor makes good economic sense.

If we just let the poor die then we’ll be able to fund tax cuts, improvements in education and public transport
