LONDON (Reuters) - More than 100 million people will die and global economic growth will be cut by 3.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030 if the world fails to tackle climate change, a report commissioned by 20 governments said on Wednesday.
As global average temperatures rise due to greenhouse gas emissions, the effects on the planet, such as melting ice caps, extreme weather, drought and rising sea levels, will threaten populations and livelihoods, said the report conducted by humanitarian organization DARA.
It calculated that five million deaths occur each year from air pollution, hunger and disease as a result of climate change and carbon-intensive economies, and that toll would likely rise to six million a year by 2030 if current patterns of fossil fuel use continue.

I dont understand this... arent the same people concerned about “climate change” are also the same that believe the world is over populated? Do they not believe the world should be less than 400 million people?
Oh well, everybody has to die sometime.
How many will die if we don’t do ‘nutttin?
100 millinon in 17 years? That don’t sound like nearly enough.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!!!! Pick me, pick me!
If you add annual global abortions, that total might come pretty close
to 100 million deaths per year.
Who cares? Commies killed more than that, along with Nazis etc., over the last 100 years.
Oh, is that his new due date for the ultimate, unstoppable, worldwide catastrophe? What's that make -- the second, or third due date he's predicted? I lose track.
Shhhhhh....!! You're not supposed to connect those dots in public! Geeez....
Only 100M? What the hell, http://ask.yahoo.com/20051128.html -— This says”According to our nifty desktop calculator, that works out to roughly 56,597,034 people leaving us every year”
So if only 100M people die, that would be a miracle! CO2 is great!
Sheesh. Another brainiac here to inject some simple horse sense into the equation. I'll bet you're all kinds of fun at OWser protests and serious environmentalist meetings. /s
Keep that under your hat, will ya? Say that out loud in the wrong kind of company, and you might cause a few mental short circuits.
Climate Hustle Ping
This is one time I think it’s best to kill the messengers.
I’ll be dead by then anyway.
The UN, sensing that hundreds of billions in gullible liberal funding for the Third World is about to dry up, tries desperately to stop his mission:
Some FReepers see it as a sign of the Apocalypse, and are willing to accept the consequences. (I on the other hand, just enjoy posting pictures of Barbara Eden, however grainy and old.)
As in any Epic Quest, there are setbacks
And apparently, Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane aren't smart enough to avoid the Straits of Hormuz on their way to the South Pole. 
Why, oh why, did they get out of the sub? Something about contacting the President on the Trans-Atlantic Cable (because of global climate change, the whole Internet and all forms or radio communication are broke, you see.)
"Could you please queue another picture of Barbara Eden for the crew? Morale is getting low."
Aye, aye, Skipper!
One shot at the radiation belt tragically misfires.
Bora Bora? Ehhh, Bump in the Road. Small price to pay for saving mankind.
The second shot does the trick, and provides a glorious sunset for our heroes to sail off into. [YES: two prepositions to end the sentence and the saga. Take that grammar Nazis!] 
All's well that ends well. Even the scary guy in the shark pool comes home safe in my version. [Looks like he'll be starring as Bilbo Baggins in PJ's upcoming The Hobbit.]
Soon to be a movie remake of a television rip-off of a motion picture, starring Roscoe Karns as Admiral Nelson, Joe Biden as one of Barbara Eden's boobs, and Jerry Mathers, as, of course "The Beaver."
More than 100 million are going to die no matter what the climate does because of war, accident, and old age!
I want to pick who dies....starting with folks in Arabia
By 2030, Global Warming will have completely erased the Analemma on most globes.
A disturbing vision of things to come.
