(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 organisation 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.
More than 90 percent of those deaths will occur in developing countries, said the report that calculated the human and economic impact of climate change on 184 countries in 2010 and 2030. It was commissioned by the Climate Vulnerable Forum, a partnership of 20 developing countries threatened by climate change.
"A combined climate-carbon crisis is estimated to claim 100 million lives between now and the end of the next decade," the report said.

Hell, 100 milion will die of old age by then.
AGW is the distraction from needed excuses for the failed 70’s predictions of the likes of Paul Ehrlich.
False prophets....Christ said there would be many in the latter days.
Here is the line in the sand.
No,here is the line.
No here is the line.
Now here is the line

“The Shifting Whispering Sands”.
I heard that there was a warning that anyone that ate beans and fought for the South in the Civil War would die.
Apparently, that prediction came true.
Your post was truly a stroke of genius.
Our only problem is that the clarity of your rebuttal simply won’t make it to the eyes and ears of most common people that can understand this.
It is laughable that socialist elite would not be able to grasp its simplicity.
For them, everything is necessarily complex, otherwise it isn’t the truth.
Obviously they haven’t gotten the memo from the depopulation leftist nutjobs.
Given enough time, we’ll all be dead.
Time to panic now, liberal idiots will.
Really?
Based on what, leftist fantasies?
More like their secret desires. Scratch a greenie, find a misanthrope.

Here is a link to a recent analysis from Cato that exposes the former fraud... The current scare-mongers will have their theories and assertions face similar exposure in time.
more than 932 million people will die worldwide by natural death rates regardless what people do to influence the death rate.
If only more than 100 million will die if we do nothing, then that is a sensible approach.
Here’s my response...
You Moslem idiots.
If’n youze don’t stopz your beligernts, we’ll stop sending grain.
You can have the $1.5 billion(it’s actually more)but, we’ll stop sending grain.
Stahve! Yuh Bastuhds!
We’ll win by attrition...
That should make the eco kooks very happy since they believe man is a blight and parasite on the precious Earth Mother and his numbers must be reduced to save her.
So let's lump it all together and call it climate change. Because we are a "humanitarian" group. We care. About money. Money for our sponsoring countries. Redistribution. All you rich carbon-intensive economies need to feel guilty and send us money.
Ironically, this would help ease the world population problem that liberals have been shrieking about since the 1970s.
I forecast that by 2112 over 6 billion people will die...for no real external reason at all.
Whatever will we do?
That’s what, 3% of the current world population? That many would die by then in any case.
Well, just make sure it includes all muslimes and democraps.
Perfect timing since Social Security will be depleted by then.
