Claim: The report confidently claims that when temperatures rise, “the reduction in premature deaths from cold are expected to be smaller than the increase in deaths from heat in the United States.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Some of the greatest increases in average temperatures in the U.S. are expected in the region over the coming decades.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: "A projected increase of 4.05 degrees Fahrenheit in average temperature is expected by 2065, and a projected increase of 9.37 degrees Fahrenheit in average temperature can be expected by the turn of the century if nothing is done to curb emissions.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The 10th Emissions Gap Report issued by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) predicts that if emissions continue to increase at the same rate as they have in 2010–2020, global temperatures would rise by as much as 4° by 2100.

Passage: Heat is more likely to increase the risk of mortality in cities in the northern part of the country than in the southern regions of the country.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that it "is difficult to make valid projections of heat-related illness and death under varying climate change scenarios" and that "heat–related deaths are preventable, as evidenced by the decline of all-cause mortality during heat events over the past 35 years".

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Rising temperatures have two opposing direct effects on mortality: higher temperatures in winter reduce deaths from cold; higher temperatures in summer increase heat-related deaths.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Reductions in cold-deaths due to climate change are projected to be greater than increases in heat-related deaths in the UK.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Globally, more people die during hot weather than cold weather.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: A government report shows decreased mortality due to recent warming and predicts increased mortality due to future warming in the United Kingdom.

Passage: (2000) "suggest that any increases in mortality due to increased temperatures would be outweighed by much larger short term declines in cold related mortalities.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: (1996) calculate that in England and Wales for a 1 °C temperature rise the reduced deaths from cold outweigh the increased deaths from heat, resulting in a reduction in annual average mortality of 7000, while Keatinge "et al.
