So despite a nicer climate more people die of heat in Europe than the US which just makes Europe look a lot worse.

either that or the U.S doesn't consider the same data when making its stats

Where two sets of stats are concerned always make sure they actually are using the same criteria for reporting.

I am using the adjusted numbers. Official are 2k and scientist adjusted are around 12k. WHO's estimate for Europe is 175k. I do find all the European justification here to show a lot about what Europeans actually think of their own citizens. The numbers make us look bad and so the numbers must be wrong because we can never look bad in this way is such a modern American leadership way of looking at it.
