There are about 20,000 hypothermia--related deaths a year in Britain, about 25,000--in the USA, 8,000 deaths a year in Canada. There are suggestions that the unofficial number of hypothermia--related deaths is substantially higher, particularity in the elderly.
Some statistical approaches estimate that more than 1,300 deaths per year in the United States are due to extreme heat, compared with about 600 deaths per year in the “underlying and contributing causes” data set shown in Figure 1.
Contrary to the NOAA, the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics Compressed Mortality Database, which is based on actual death certificates, indicates that roughly twice as many people die of cold in a given year than of heat.
I really don't see how this is important, the beirut explosion, the turkish earthquake, just those two things are objectively worse for humanity than climate change has been in the last 100 years.
" Yet, the overall trend is a striking. There is a 25-percent decrease in burned areas globally. "
It's going to be fine.
