A few years ago, the IPCC report said this :
9.4.1. Heat Waves
Global climate change is likely to be accompanied by an increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves, as well as warmer summers and milder winters
9.4.2. Decreased Mortality Resulting from Milder Winters

13.1.4.1.2. Mild winters (Europe)
http://observatory.ph/resources/IPCC/TAR/wg2/494.htm#131412
That didn’t work out too well, so they have changed their tune.
