While they could probably start making up numbers about deaths due to climate change
They already do. Natural disaster resulted in deaths? Climate change deaths. Heat wave resulted in deaths? Climate change deaths.
Slightly warmer Winters ( increasing the greenhouse effect largely skews to increasing Winter and nights minimum ) results in fewer people dying of hypothermia? "No we're not going to substract those from our fear-mongering numbers."
They deliberately choose not to explain the last point about which temperatures the greenhouse effect impacts more, because people aren't going to support their authoritarian power grabs over a 3C rise in Winter minimums and a 1C rise in Summer maximums over a century.
