But its a lot easier to be stuck in 40C (110+F) temperaturure then in then in -40 C especially with global warming so my point still stands.  Its pretty easy to build a shelter to avoid exteme cold again watch the movie Alive (1993) if you don't want to belive me, but its pretty much impossible to build a shelter to protect you from extreme heat 40C (110+F).   The only reason people can survive today in 40C (110+ F) heat is because of air conditioning people survived in extreme cold a long time before the invention of air contiontioning (eskimos, neanderthal man).

That doesn't change the fact that colder temperatures are relatively more lethal than warmer temperatures ... 

Your assertion also has limits too. Even if we burned all sources of fossil fuels including currently unrecoverable sources too the average temperature rise would only amount to 10*C where our current average is still less than 1*C ... (There's only so many sources we can find and burn but the best part is we'd still be in the habitable zone!) 

The fearmongering of a doomsday scenario where we will see boiling oceans if we use more fuel is just unfettered ignorance ...
