The scale of the impending climate crisis [Content Warning: climate crisis, mass deaths and suffering]

We have known for quite some time that the climate crisis is existential. Now some scientists have had a go at estimating the scale of deaths, and predict around one billion or so over the next century. 

See https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-warn-1-billion-people-on-track-to-die-from-climate-change.

I think they’re low - far too low.

Nevertheless, we should think about this, including how to respond, and one suggestion can be found at https://eand.co/the-old-world-just-died-heres-how-to-build-a-new-one-2556e907a80d.  

PS - some additional articles that are worth reading when thinking about this: 

• "cultural security in the Pacific: Why it matters for regional security. Of all the complex and evolving threats to the region’s cultural heritage, climate change remains the most calamitous"; 
• "What is Albanese hiding? Maybe it’s the experts’ vision of the climate hell ahead" - which is a very strongly worded opinion piece.
