I wonder if the guardian asked 10 people, of which one of them said this, and so they assumed 10% of the country is doing it. It says “since May”, when it was at times 30C+, I dont beleive this at all.
The guardian don’t link to the research used to make this claim. It’s apparently from the Joseph Roundtree Foundation but a quick scan of their site didn’t turn up anything to corroborate the guardian’s analysis. I must stress I am at work and only looked for a short amount of time.
Nevertheless it would be useful for a paper such as the guardian to properly quote and attribute their claims.
