Pollution has already killed tens of millions, and at this rate will kill tens of millions more.
Nah, You are wrong OP, sorry.
Billionaires won't care for billions of deaths, will do nothing, they have to be scary of something that do impact them directly, and the noise could be something like that.
- Mild inconvenience > the poors dying
Autocorrect is so funny like that sometimes
And like 20 very VERY inconvenient years beforehand that you will have to live in your lifetime.
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.
  
  Since we can't observe the counterfactual, meaning "had climate change not happened", the amount of deaths directly linked to the current severity of the climate change effects cannot be established for sure.
  We can extrapolate, but we can't compare against a reality that did not happen.
- 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?
  
  Someone needs to do some homework
  
  Bro, we aren’t living in the early 19th century anymore
Consider that "billions of poors dying" doesn't sound particularly important 🤔 /s
