619!!! people lost their lives in a 2021 "heat dome" in British Columbia. The government acknowledges this was due to climate change, and the odds of it happening again are now 3 in every 10 years by 2050. https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2022PSSG0035-000911 Not everyone can afford air-conditioning, especially renters.

You can find this and 20 other studies on HAL: https://healthattribution.org. I'm still maintaining this, even though we have no dedicated funding for this project, because it's more important than ever right now - especially given that the courts might be the best chance for near-term climate wins.

Also, hopefully the people involved in IPCC AR7 will use it as a resource! (And not, say, conduct their own systematic review and race us to publication to teach us some sort of confusing lesson about seniority and the UK funding system)
