Read the original article on mirror.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Mirror reports the water minister's advice on saving water during the drought that followed this summer's heatwaves, with official figures on where severe drought remains. It quotes the minister on 'longer, drier, hotter summers' but never tells the reader that warming has made drought and hot extremes more frequent or more severe. Otherwise the report is accurate and fairly sourced.
