Climate change hits poorest Brits

A study by a coalition of environmental and social justice groups said one in five people still lived in poverty in this country, often unable to afford to heat their homes or eat healthily.
The impacts of rising temperatures will affect them most, as they tend to live in lower quality, less energy-efficient housing, have less access to insurance in case of floods or storm damage and less money to adapt to higher prices of fuel and food.
