英国自由民主党领导人Ed Davey及发言人Pippa Heylings两周前致信首相Andy Burnham，提议召集各党派领导人会议，制定应对极端天气和即将到来的超级厄尔尼诺现象的长期措施1。Heylings批评政府对极端热浪的应对不足，指出自5月以来英国已经历五次连续热浪1。自由民主党警告称，超级厄尔尼诺规模前所未有，将加剧英国极端天气，特别是秋冬季将带来更严重的洪水和风暴1。
对此，政府发言人回应称英国继续在应对气候危机方面居于世界领先地位，将投入至少105亿英镑用于防洪和海岸侵蚀防护工程，该投入将持续至2036年3月1。与此同时，保守党和Reform党已承诺放弃净零排放目标并淡化气候危机1。
Britain's Liberal Democrats have urged Prime Minister Andy Burnham to convene a cross-party conference to address long-term strategies for combating extreme weather and the approaching super El Niño phenomenon.1 Party figures Pippa Heylings and Ed Davey wrote to Burnham two weeks ago proposing a meeting of UK party leaders to discuss the crisis.1
Heylings criticized the government's response to extreme heat waves as insufficient.1 She warned that the anticipated super El Niño will be unprecedented in scale and will intensify extreme weather across Britain, with particularly severe flooding and storms expected during autumn and winter months.1 Since May, the UK has already endured five consecutive heat waves.1 The government countered by stating that Britain continues to lead the world in addressing the climate crisis, committing at least £10.5 billion by March 2036 toward flood defense and coastal erosion protection projects.1
The Liberal Democrats' call for unified action contrasts with positions taken by other parties: the Conservative and Reform parties have pledged to abandon net-zero emission targets and downplay the urgency of the climate crisis.1
