Original Note:
Cold deaths vastly outweigh heat deaths. For instance the Lancet finds that each year, almost 600,000 people die globally from heat but 4.5 million from cold. Each year, more than 100k people die from cold in the USA — more than 40 cold deaths for every heat death. •https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(14)62114-0.pdf •https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(21)00081-4/fulltext https://lomborg.com/heresy-heat-and-cold-deaths#:~:text=166%2C000%20avoided%20deaths,but%204.5%20million%20from%20cold. https://nypost.com/2021/07/14/more-die-of-cold-medias-heat-death-climate-obsession-leads-to-lousy-fixes/
