Abstract
In the US, due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, extreme heat has increased substantially and is projected to increase further in the coming decades.1,2 Concurrently, extreme cold episodes are declining.3 Understanding how these changes along with demographic changes will affect the burden of temperature-related mortality is crucial to informing climate change policy efforts to improve population health.Keywords
