I’m not a climate scientist or an expert in that area at all so my opinion really doesn’t matter lol. But I’m assuming the decrease in deaths is highly attributable to improvements to infrastructure and widespread use of air conditioning.

That’s correct, the most important being people being able to heat their homes with electricity.

The high level reason is humans ability to adapt to a naturally dangerous climate.

This is possible in large part due to fossil fuels.

Cheap, abundant, reliable energy begets human flourishing.
