Quote from Max E. Pad:
Still waiting for you to admit how stupid it was ofyou to say heat waves kill more people then all weather events combined.
Just admit it that was pretty goddamn stupid even by your low standards,
Several articles stated exactly that. I repeated it. It may be true. But I'll admit that it might not be true or tell the whole story. I'll do some further research.
.....
"Interestingly, depending on the database used
and the compiling U.S. agency, completely different
results can be obtained. Several studies show that
heat-related deaths outnumber cold-related deaths,
while other studies conclude the exact opposite.
We are not suggesting that any particular study is
consistently inferior to another, but, rather, that it is
absolutely critical to identify the exact data source, as
well as the benefits and limitations of the database,
used in these studie"
