What does Ottawa, Canada, have in common with Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, and Montreal? They are all cities that experience cold weather, at times very cold, but all have essentially ignored the dangerous impacts of cooling in their climate change plans. This is despite the fact that according to a study in the British Medical journal The Lancet:

“Cold weather kills 20 times as many people as hot weather, according to an international study analyzing over 74 million deaths in 384 locations across 13 countries.”

As I emphasized in my April 18, 2023 testimony before the City of Ottawa Environment and Climate Change Committee: Twenty times more people die from the cold than the heat! So, cooling is clearly far more dangerous for high-latitude cities such as Ottawa, Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, and Montreal.
