In reply to the discussion: 100 Million Will Die by 2030 If World Fails to Act on Climate: Report [View all]Javaman

and nothing is done to fund mental health services.
What makes anyone think that we are going to do anything to help the world combat climate change and the 10's of millions that will die because of it?
humans like big staggering numbers en masse not the slow drip of numbers over time.
we are willfully ignoring ourselves to death.

If one was just thinking about climate this might be a decent estimate. However

I'm guessing far more than 100 million will die even if the world acts on climate change

we passed the tipping point long ago. By the 2030, the survivors will envy the dead.
