it's #fossilFuels- prices.

Cold weather linked to 40,000 extra heart deaths each year in the U.S. When temperatures plunge, the risk to your heart rises dramatically. A large U.S. study shows cold weather is linked to far more cardiovascular deaths than heat, accounting for tens of thousands of extra deaths each year.
