So the Spanish, people who have adapted and acclimated to temperatures higher than typical of their neighbors, have more trouble surviving when it gets really cold than when it gets really hot?
I'm floored.
Holy shit what a retarded argument.
"The Spanish are a swarthy and heat-loving people. They are uniquely vulnerable to the cold! Why, if you throw an ice cube at a Spaniard, he will shatter like a white walker hit with dragonglass!"
How stupid can you be? Spain has pretty cold winters: https://www.quora.com/Does-it-snow-in-Spain
OVERALL, COLD KILLS 20X MORE PEOPLE THAN HEAT
Antonio's point - that cold kills proportionately FEWER people in Spain because it doesn't really get that cold there compared to other places - is CORRECT. The global average K:D ratio is 20:1, not Spain's 6:1.
