Sure but not billions of people dying from global warming or increase in surface temperature.

  There are literally billions of people living in climates that are already humid and hot. Those are the areas that will be hit the hardest, first. Yea there will be migrants and some people with wealth will likely be okay, but there are billions who won't be. That is the point

    That might be the point but it’s not founded in science. “billions” is plural. The consensus is that it will be catastrophic for low millions at most. Unless you change the definition to be “people inconvenienced by higher pricing, required diet changes, and/or being required to move”.

      Low millions? Where are all of the people in the hot areas of India, China, Africa, and the middle east going to go? How are they going to migrate? Do they have money? Will it be on foot? Will they have resources for the journey?

        Why do you think they need to move? Air conditioning will just move from luxury to necessity like it is in many places already.

        In your worst case scenario, what are the global TFR, life expectancy and annual population growth rate etc etc? It seems to me that you don't take these variables into consideration and just assume they would remain constant or follow their historical trend into the future which needless to say is shortsighted to say the least.

          Does any of that prevent people from dying in weather that is too hot and humid for humans? If not, I don't see how it's relevant Like what does population growth have to do with people dying from heat? Okay so the population is growing, that didn't stop the extra deaths from happening. Why does life expectancy matter? Obviously that's going to change rapidly in these circumstances, but again, still not changing the number of deaths
