Something tells me you no have a job were you work outside all day

So what if we don't have weather for working outside all the time. Take a less narrow view.
How many people do you know who have been killed by the weather in the UK?
It happens, but it's very rare. Hotwired is right - we have extremely moderate weather in almost all of the UK. Northern Scotland can get much worse weather, but it's rarely fatal even up there.
For example, here in the UK two tornadoes that killed nobody were national news for days in 2005. Front page news for days, TV all over the place, the biggest news of the time. £40 million pounds of damage. In the USA, tornadoes kill hundreds of people and cause billions of dollars of damage. They also get hurricanes, which kill thousands and cause hundreds of billions of dollars of damage. Other places get tsunamis, droughts, flooding, deadly heat, deadly cold, earthquakes, volcanoes...the UK has some of the best weather in the world.

Woman killed as ‘tree falls on car’ in high winds (Dorset, I think that is in UK)
Poor woman RIP.

We far from have some of the best weather in the world, and the weather is also far from the best thing about the UK.
It is a common consensus that the most complained about thing regarding the UK, whether resident or visitor, is its weather.
According to a recent article in Nature (Environment and Climate Change) the UK will soon enjoy a share of 2°C increased global warming simply due to digital currency mining energy costs alone if Bitcoin (or any like digital currency) goes mainstream.
e: nb.the majority scientific consensus is that above 2°c all bets are currently off on what might be the tipping effects, plus warming is projected to continue for at least 3 centuries even if the 2°c max target was achieved by 2030. Ergo, warmer UK weather.

All good. The only possible downside on your side of the pond (as mine) is our rolling record summer temperatures predicted for the next two decades. It's pretty hot in Aus already. Plus, we can bank on the cryptocurrency temp rise coming from the mainstream - a news article posted 9 hours ago I just read mentions as a side-issue China's headman now pushing for widespread blockchain and cryptocurrency dev n rollout. That, I suspect to keep up with the Facebook consortium global Libra cryptocurrency move mooted for 2020.

e: If the expected temp rises occur in our city, our family will have to move - as it will be simply too disruptive to our normal lifestyle and health.

I agree
Like how many people choose to go for a holiday in UK because of lovely UK weather
Eh? I go on holiday to really cold places or really hot places, none of them I'd want to live and work in due to the inconvenience of the extreme temperature when going about day to day life.
It's fine for a week or so when you're snowboarding all day or lying on a beach, for living though, give me average Britain every day.
That is a very good point as I hate working on days when the weather is either boiling hot or freezing cold..
But these places usually have very good heating or AC in every building. Unlike the UK where an office or house is either to cold or to hot
I don't personally think Bitcoin will go mainstream - I suspect it's successors will between 2020-2030. Fwiw I have factored in a 4 degree rise into my planning (despite eco-engineering).There's just too much money to be lost and gained from timely investments.
e: aside, I forsee a sharp one-time up spike in Bitcoin in 2021, a last hurrah, if you will, as ' kill-zone ' moves quicken pace.

Just to bring this screaming back to the OT.

Interestingly for me is the driver being charged after all the public outcry that he was innocent.
39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people & money laundering.

Yes it was pretty obvious he was involved from the start. By all means he is entitled to defend himself of course, Im not disputing the legal system. But the circumstances from the outset were highly odd and some just couldnt see it.
It was a possibility, but not obvious. Lots of crazy stuff (much of it racist) also did the rounds.
The pitch forks and torches lynching mob have been proved right in hindsight, nothing else.
It's noticeable that either detections and/or reporting on other people smuggling have increased since.

Nah, it was obvious, the location and time pointed to it being a drop off.
From what I could tell a lot of the people defending him didn’t know the details and were just assuming it was those nasty illegals stowing away a hard working drivers truck when he was coming back from the continent.

When it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck - it's normally a duck.
