Yes, cold deaths vastly outnumber heat deaths (600k from heat but 4.5m from cold annually worldwide). And yes, increased warmth decreases cold deaths - about 2x (283k avoided cold deaths vs 116k increased heat deaths per year). https://www.lomborg.com/the-heresy-of-heat-and-cold-deaths https://www.lomborg.com/the-heresy-of-heat-and-cold-deaths This effect is probably magnified by the fact that more warming occurs in nighttime temperatures, winter temperatures, and polar areas.
