Climate Change: Adapt or Die? | Mother Jones
Global warming could kill a million people a year by 2030. So why's the US stalling on a deal that would help countries adapt?
...
In the next decade, the effects of a rapidly warming climate could kill 5 million people—as many as live in Singapore or Finland. More than 99 percent of those deaths will likely occur in developing countries, and almost four-fifths are expected to happen in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. There could be as many as a million climate-related deaths each year by 2030 if nations don't significantly cut planet-warming emissions, according to a report released Friday.

I'm too lazy to look it up.
Do half-a-million people die from weather-related causes worldwide every year; snow, floods, drought, lightning, asteroid strikes, zombie attacks?
Then all this shrieking eel has done is declare weather = climate. Oh Noes.
