You seem to have some odd fixation on hurricanes which are of course significant in terms of financial consequences but don't register in terms of deaths, and which are still rather poorly understood.
LOL. No, it was an example that was in the news in the past few days, an example where dozens of people died and billions of dollars of damage was done.

If global warming means more frequent heatwaves like the one in Europe last year, it will certainly kill many. Of course, it may save more in the warmer winters.
No-one has said anything about global warming not causing more heat-waves in the future. I certainly haven't. There is a big difference between the impacts of global warming in the future and the impacts now. Again, the title of the thread is, "Global Warming KILLS...", not "Global Warming MAY KILL..." There is a huge difference between the two. Claiming that last years heat-wave in Europe was "Caused" by global warming is completely wrong. We don't know anything of the kind.
