Precipitated by...huh? That's not a falsifiable statement, and so is not a valid argument. I could replace "downstream impacts ...climate change" in your statement with "5G deployment" or "vaccines" or "black people" and your argument would be no different.
Where's the evidence that these deaths are caused by environmental change, or indeed are linked and have a common cause?
Note that I'm not denying your claim; I'm merely pointing out that without referencing any evidence, it's as good as no claim at all.
