Letters: Heatwave baking and ironic climate meeting postponement
By
Guardian staff reporter
Summary
A brief letter to the editor humorously contrasts the UK heatwave with two anecdotes: the author's temptation to fit into a pie dish while baking in 32°C heat, and the ironic postponement of a Reform UK council meeting to scrap a climate emergency declaration due to the very heatwave that underscores the climate crisis.

Meanwhile, in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, a meeting where Reform UK councillors planned to scrap a climate emergency declaration and deprioritise decarbonisation has been postponed – because of the UK heatwave.
The irony is delicious.
