During 2006–2010, 10,649 deaths of U.S. residents were attributed to weather-related causes of death (Table 2). Exposure to excessive natural heat, heat stroke, sun stroke, or all were cited as either the underlying cause or a contributing cause of death for 3,332 (31%) of these deaths, and exposure to excessive natural cold, hypothermia, or both was cited for 6,660 (63%) https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr076.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr076.pdf And most global warming mitigates cold extremes rather than increasing hot extremes (polar amplification, increased night-time temperatures, etc.).
