Crowdsourcing heat deaths worldwide

I think it might be important for people to begin creating crowd sourcing sites where information is gathered on all the people dying from heat prostration worldwide and those suffering heat prostration.

This seems important to me after what happened in Karachi, Pakistan and in India where at least 1000 to 2000 people died in a heat index as high as 141 degree Fahrenheit this May and June because the monsoons haven't come but the heat and the humidity have. So, keeping an ongoing record of just how many are dying or getting heatstroke (65,000 in Karachi got heat stroke for example bad enough to be hospitalized) seems important to me now because the more facts people have the more likely enough will be done to reverse Global Climate change eventually.

All our survival might depend upon useful crowdsourcing of deaths and maimings during heat events including Hurricanes, cyclones, tornadoes etc.

All these events have to do with increasing air and water temperatures world wide. When temperatures increase, winds increase exponentially which drives storms harder and harder and eliminates people, buildings and crops more and more.

I was watching a movie called "Into the Storm" last night for the second time.

Even though it is very Hollywooded up and sort of like Cloverfield in some ways in being sort of done in a Docu-drama style with special effects, still the point gets across of how different storms are becoming worldwide and as the storms become more violent people's reactions to storms must also be more extreme to survive them. Less people will still be alive but those who do survive will have to prepare more to survive whatever comes.
