How Many Million / Billion Will Die Because Of The Drill Baby Drill Climate Change Deniers?

The Great Barrier Reef is 1/2 dead, and expected to be extinct soon. 1/4th of the planets species extinct by 2050. The list is long.

Why do we not treat Republicans like terrorists?

Their "plan" is to kill millions, or billions on behalf of their funders.

How many will have to die at the hands of the Republican Party?

Both sides are doing in. The one who shall not be named has taken millions.

That's been my estimate since 2007, and I have seen nothing since to make me change it. Things are unfolding right on schedule. I expect the die-off to be in full swing by 2025.

To have avoided this outcome, the entire world would have had to stop driving, flying and using thermal electricity completely in about 1975. Nobody seemed to want to do that.

Your answer is close, but I think the real answer is all of us will be gone...

...and humans were challenged to survive the last ice age.

We're going to wish we had it so good.

Or, I should say, our children will.
