Climate-change death toll put at 300,000 a year

actuarians. same way they calculate your insurance premiums.

The approach of comparing the trends in weather-related and geophysical disasters is based on an analysis of loss-generating events in the publication Journal of Flood Risk.416 The article states that by "Assuming the socio-economic driving factors behind loss-generating events to be the same for all causes, the difference is likely to be due to climate change". The validity of the approach has beenreviewed with a number of experts. While it is a rough approach, particularly on shorter time series,
it is seen as comparatively strong. Alternative analyses of number of affected, recorded losses ofproperty and insured losses are associated with greater uncertainty than the frequency of events.

Next year 184 million of us will suffer from diarrhoea because of climate change.

Sure.

Lets commit mass suicide and leave Earth to the animals.

Lead by example.

Do we really?  He's a Calley waiting to go My Lai

I did it my lai.

Since nothing can be done about it, who cares?

There is something we can do.

We can send you to the South Pole without supplies.

That is unlikely to do any good.  Although I've always wanted to visit Mount Erebus.

Be sure to go by plane to enjoy the scenery.

Some climate change is "normal", and some is definitely man-made, or most likely American-made or Chinese-made or Norwegian-made. I would like to know how many a year I personally kill and how many farmers I put out of business.

maybe not 184 million, but a lack of clean water do to a ecosytemic collapse would fuck with many intestines.

I didn't make that up--page 90 of the report projects 182 million will suffer diarrhoea as a result of climate change, and 94 thousand of those will die (I must have made a mistake when I wrote 184 million).
