Hate to agree but yeah. We've already seen a number of deadly heat waves in Europe.

In 2003, 70,000 people died in the EU from a heat wave [1]. A fact that is never really comes up in talks about climate change.

The death toll could be millions and we'd still see deniers clamoring that we need to burn more coal for grid stability or whatever.

More people die of cold than heat, a fact that never comes up in talks about climate change.

Obviously there's a limit, but based on the data about lives lost due to cold vs. warm temps, we should expect increased global temps to first save human lives since a lot more people freeze to death.

And think of all the money we'll save on jackets

The short-term patch is to install air conditioning (or go to the mall, or even an air conditioned car). That's what people at risk of this will do.
