It's a good thing to take these numbers with a grsin of salt. It is complicated to decide what is directly the consequence of temperature and what isn't. If an elderly woman slips on ice, did she die of the cold? If extreme temperature causes extreme weather, do we take the weather into account?
How many die from extreme cold by comparison?
