From the Google machine...
"Globally, cold deaths are 9 times higher than heat-related ones. In no region is this ratio less than 3, and in many, it's over 10 times higher. Cold is more deadly than heat, even in the hottest parts of the world.
"The study that estimates that 7.7% of deaths were attributed to temperature found that 7.3% were from cold temperatures; 0.4% were from heat."
How many people die from extreme temperatures, and how this could change in the future: Part one - Our World in Data.
Gee, that wasn't hard to find at all...
