I provide evidence such as this:



...and get a reply like "no, disease is killing everyone due to a 1 degree temperature rise".

Somehow I feel you are targeting me, but if so this story misses the point completely.

You were saying cold related issues kill more people than heat related issues, implying global warming is a good thing.
You did not provide any data to back your claim.

I did provide data proving heat related issues do kill millions of people. I also did an honest search for cold related deaths, but could not find anything substantial.

Basically I showed there are more heat related deaths than cold related deaths. I did not say everyone gets killed by a 1 degree raise in temperature. I suspect that raise will generally have a negative effect on life expectancy, but I did not quantify. I did not even bring up this issue at all, you did.

Your graph does not provide evidence that Jim is waving, whoever he may be. It only shows the effect of improved diagnosis and healthcare over time.

If not me, what alarmist was calling Jim dead, who's Jim, and who told you a 1 degree rise would kill everyone?
