5. One city's "heat death" is another's "natural causes"
Tagging a death as heat related is extremely subjective. For example:


But in New York City — officially, at least — there is no such thing as a heat-related death. “We don’t use that term,” said Dr. Charles S. Hirsch, the chief medical examiner.

In other words, this column by Patrick J. Michaels is crap. Just like the paper that printed it.
