Interesting study. They looked at 74+ million deaths in 384 locations, in 13 different countries between 1985 and 2012.

Of those 74+ million deaths, 7.71% were attributable to weather temperature. That's 5.7 million dead people. They call it non-optimum temperature. Either too hot or too cold.
They divided the weather into a little hot or a lot hot, and a little cold and a lot cold. Of those categories, guess which one produced the most deaths? If you said a little cold, you'd be right.
And not just by a little but by a lot. Like almost an order of magnitude. Cold temperatures are way more deadly than hot temperatures. I know the news media is hyping the heat armageddon but it has no basis in science. Imagine that?
Weird fact: rising temperatures actually have the potential to save lives worldwide. I hope this gets some traction for the Europeans looking at a cold winter.
