Another global warming musing (short one)

Don't more people die from brutally cold winters than die from brutally hot summers?

And if so, how come we don't expect to save more lives in the slightly-warmer winters than we would expect to lose in the slightly-warmer summers?

Just wonderin'.

What you so conveniently miss is that: a. global warming should be called global climate change, and b. that humans are less capable of living in 30 degree weather then 100 degree weather, all things being equal.

OK, global climate change then; either one works for me. On your second point...are you agreeing with me? It sounds like it, but "so conveniently miss" doesn't sound like a prelude to an agreement.
