billions?
I think you're going to get yelled at and I apologize in advance.
It's a fair question, there's a lot of reckless claims made these days.
That being said, depending on how bad things get, yeah. Some incredibly populous places will be directly and heavily affected (1.21 billion currently in sub Saharan Africa alone.) Add in the conflicts over diminishing resources (think crop failures, droughts etc) as well as knock on effects (eg, increased range/spread of malaria.)
Heck, climate change has barely gotten started and I'd bet we're into millions dead already (compared to a non warning world) consider how many thousands have been lost to extreme events like floods, fires and heat waves.
Yes
can you please get that ugly fuckhead out of me face🫣🙏
Ha, we didn't even reach the plural of billions in population yet, you make a good point.
We are at an estimate of 8 billions
Were you drunk when you posted this?
Yes I was.
Fair enough.
Bro, we aren’t living in the early 19th century anymore
Someone needs to do some homework
