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.

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.

The difference is UK is surrounded by water so rarely get extreme heat or cold and are unprepared for either.

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.

What these charts show I think is that deaths are from temperatures that you're really not prepared for, either high or low.

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.
