This is what I'm wondering. How many years of life are really being taken by a heat wave compared to a hurricane or flooding that can also kill a 15-year-old just as easily? There's a word for this, something like disability-adjusted years of life expectancy (because living without eyesight or your legs is also annoying, and should be taken into account when comparing badness of some health-affecting issue).
