4) Yes, hypothermia kills far more than hyperthermia, when taken in the context of ' temperature mortality ratio '.
Most who die are 65-years or older, and they have pre-existing health issues:
* respiratory infections
* cardiovascular disease
* diabetes
* kidney disease
* alcoholism/ fatty liver
OR :
* run their vehicle into a snow bank and perish from exposure.
* get caught out in a storm un-prepared.
* get 'wet', lose all insulation potential of clothing and die of exposure.
* get stuck in the mud, leave their vehicle, and die of exposure.
* the majority of 'cold' deaths occur at 'moderate' cold conditions.
5) in 2023, 2,677 Americans died of 'heat death.'
6) in 2023, about 1,500 Americans died of 'cold' death.
7) the 'bulk' of the human population, living near the Equator are going to die of heat death.
8) The 'environment' of the Holocene, in which humans flourished is 'vanishing' at a rate that is 170-times faster than humans, animals, and plants can 'evolve,' which will end up in mass extinction.
9) The existence of humans on planet Earth is an 'instant' ,compared the Earth's geologic history.
10) With respect to Earth's position in our solar system, we're already near the inner edge of the 'Goldilocks' zone of habitability. The heat blanket caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gases will become so 'potent' that, it will be tantamount to 'moving' Earth's orbit fatally close to the Sun.
A 'look' at our Moon, and Venus gives you all you need to know about how fossil -fuels will 'end' our planet. Scientifically, there is no other conclusion.

I couldn't find the figures you have on hypothermia vs hyperthermia deaths, but this study finds cold kills at 20x the rate as warm;

You agree though, that humanity is biologically better adapted to warmer climates on earth than the cooler ones?
Regarding "Scientifically, there is no other conclusion", no scientists have concluded anything except things are getting warmer. Historically, the most living matter in the world existed when it was much warmer than it is today. That suggests life can thrive when it's much warmer.
