Really not that hard to find. Sites sometimes move their links around.
Here's the PDF and the graphs on page 3 seem to indicate that any cold just wears you down, with many cites with a slow incline in deaths as the temperature decreases. Eyeballing the Spain chart, it seems this graphic is correct as their deaths in the chart top out at 30 C which is not really very hot.
"Most of this mortality burden was caused by days colder than the optimum temperature (7·29%), compared with days warmer than the optimum temperature (0·42%)"
It seems like you have a reactionary response to this meme and are looking for ways to rationalize it being wrong, but it appears to be fundamentally correct.
What these charts show I think is that deaths are from temperatures that you're really not prepared for, either high or low. Compare London to New York for instance, with London having huge heat and cold risk of death from 'extreme' temperatures like 80 F and 32 F. The difference is UK is surrounded by water so rarely get extreme heat or cold and are unprepared for either.
Gizortnik is a libtard. He can only output what his NPC firmware dictates. He is not capable of actually engaging in rational thought. He isn't someone you can have a good faith debate with. His mind is not open. You can show him all the proof in the world and he would just make an excuse to reject it and cling to his programming.
This is why arguing with libtards is pointless. They are nothing but a human botnet. The only point to engaging them in PUBLIC debate is to expose them as frauds so that 3rd party observers can be red pilled against their talking points.
Sit down, faggot. You clearly don't know shit about me. If you knew shit about me, you would know that if you were capable of having a conversation, you would have done so. I've been here before you, talking to people I've disagreed with, and having productive conversations for that entire time.
All you and Fauxgnaws have done has been retards instead of addressing any points with a modicum of sense. The title and the meme is silly if you want to argue about Climate Change. There are much better arguments to make than this meme, which isn't useful in any argument about Climate Change. The very premise isn't well founded as an argument against it.

Try telling the truth.
Normally evidence is good for determining whether or not something is correct, but if I don't have it, I can't do anything with it. You then gave me the evidence and complained that I had "reactionary" attitudes after not having evidence.
This meme is retarded because it's badly done. This is a meme pretending to be a figure from a scientific article, but as you can see, the graphic isn't in the document.
This doesn't represent world wide deaths, in fact there's only two countries that were identified in the southern hemisphere, and nothing at all from the entire continent of Africa.
Then we have to go back to the absolute base premise here that Climate Change only corresponds to the highest local temperatures. It doesn't. That's not how Climates work.
Again, we are talking about the average global temperature increasing by a matter of 5 degrees by 2100. Except for some crazy Watermelon death cultist, we're not talking about Spain only being at 250 F from now on.
This is a fucking asinine comment. It literally does not follow that being an island prevents you from being exposed to extreme temperatures.
It's like saying, "Well, I own a table, so that's why I don't tend to fall down." Yeah, sure maybe you can grab the table or something on the off chance you fall near it, but this is effectively a complete non-sequitur.
The reason the UK doesn't get extreme cold temperatures isn't because it's an island. It's benefiting from the fact that it's sitting towards the end of the "Atlantic Conveyor Belt" which actually increases temperatures and stops it from being as cold a northern Canada.
Yeah, I know, that's why I said it:
It's possible that Spain is much more used & prepared to deal with extreme temperatures, as they have a culture that's been dealing with it for over 1000 years. On of the reasons Siestas exist is because you really do have to stop working if the temperature in the afternoon has climbed to 125 F. This is effectively like a cultural defense mechanism. Similar to how, I'm not kidding, the Romans discovered pants being used by barbarians in the north of Europe. When living in cold, wet, forested, hilly, climates: pants are preferable to togas and robes.
By contrast, when you're not prepared for a cold snap (like Texas wasn't), you could end up with all sorts of additional problems that even northern states don't face, like damaged infrastructure that wasn't properly insulated for cold temperatures.
All I did was put in the document id number and search found the source right off. Not even paywalled. So to me I'm thinking this person didn't put in the least effort to verify the source and then wrote a dozen paragraphs saying why the graphic is wrong.
What's a better word for getting upset at the truth, like denialist maybe or unhinged?
There's a reason why "the ocean plays a moderating effect on climates, warming or cooling the air that blows across water and onto land" is written for children. Because if an adult doesn't know this then you wonder what's wrong with them.
Normally the link should just work since it's a recent meme. So instead of crying to me that I'm a "reactionary" because the source isn't sourced well, maybe just deal with the fact that I said that I couldn't vouch for the information.
Cool, since you're still being a punk, I assume you can explain to me how the Arctic Ocean prevents Dead Horse Alaska from getting cold. After all, if you can't what's fucking wrong with you, retard?
Stop acting like an idiot.
