I bet we’d be OK with 1 million Americans killed per year due to floods, heat stroke, etc. with the right marketing campaign.

"Heat deaths are beguilingly click-worthy, and studies show that heat kills about 2,500 people every year in the United States and Canada. However, rising temperatures also reduce cold waves and cold deaths. Cold restricts blood flow to keep our core warm, increasing blood pressure and killing through strokes, heart attacks and respiratory diseases.
Those deaths are rarely reported, because they don’t fit the current climate narrative. Of course, if they were just a curiosity, the indifference might be justified, but they are anything but. Each year, more than 100,000 people die from cold in the United States, and 13,000 in Canada — more than 40 cold deaths for every heat death."
By the way, floods happen in WINTER due to ice clogged rivers all the time in the US. Very few die in hurricanes if they take the advice to evacuate seriously.
Texas just hit record power demand (and the lights stayed on) at 76 MW of generating capacity. No one is dying of heat other than possibly in isolated instances, or those who can’t pay their electric bill thanks to SKYROCKETING electric prices from natural gas generation all over the country. (By the way, Texas hit record production of wind power lately with 35% of all power generated coming from wind in May 2022).
