Preface: The North Atlantic Circulation is more resilient than previously thought. You probably won't see that news in any "liberal" news feed.
Preface 2: It was 2003 - over 20 years ago! - when there was a horrible heat wave across Europe. "The death toll has been estimated at more than 70,000."
Nope - just the opposite.

But also, as Hannah Ritchie has noted, cold kills far more people than heat, even in Europe. (Note the correction to the famous but hugely dishonest chart in that Europe link*.)
Development is the most important things we could do. </preface>
BTW, adaptation and mitigation are not new ideas. When I was in grad school at the University of Illinois as a DOE Global Change Fellow, I worked on carbon sequestration via forestry. This was in 1992-93. Next, at Carnegie Mellon, I worked on the role of particulates in climate change, including how to use them to increase albedo.
When EK was an undergrad at Pomona, they wrote a big paper about carbon sequestration via ocean seeding and enhanced weathering of olivine. This was 2012.
There is so much we could do to make things better, but many (most?) on the Left would rather scream than help.
* OK, I won't make you clidk through. Here's the famous chart of European deaths of cold vs heat - note the scale:
Here's what it looks like using the same scale:
Honest questions: Why would anyone trust anything said by "scientists"? How can we make things better when we insist on lying to promote our dogma?
