Revised schematic representation of how increased average temp. would affect mortality, by shifting distribution to right. Decreased cold-related deaths in winter would outweigh heat-related deaths In summer, reducing overall mortality. 2005 TEMPERATURE RANGE 2050 TEMPERATURE RANGE MEAN DAILY TEMPERATURE
