Original Note:
@billweircnn makes the claim that "heat is more deadly than all the other disasters combined". In fact, Forbes cites a Lancet study: "For every death linked to heat, nine are connected to cold". @billweircnn is spreading disinformation unchallenged. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshuacohen/2023/07/19/excessive-summer-heat-can-kill-but-extreme-cold-causes-more-fatalities/
