Not true. At least not in New Mexico. There was no AC in several buildings around where I lived [Santa Fe area].

Super heat has the same effects as super cold as far as death rates go. There is a reason it is mandatory to have air conditioning in places in the South.

Also, everyone knows that the East Coast is where truely epic diasters happen, everywhere else just need to get over it. I remember we got 24 inches of snow in 18 hours last winter, and when it dropped to -30 degrees with windchills in the -60s it was barely mentioned in the news, but once that weather got out east, where it dropped far less snow, and the temperatures were about 30 degrees warmer, it was an ecological diaster.
