No, global warming is not about prediction.
A consequence of a higher global temperature is that the frequency of natural disasters will increase and their severity will ne amplified, but that's not the same as predicting anything.
An argument can be made that it's already killing people, as both frequency and severely of fires, heat waves, draughts, floods, etc has significantly gotten worse within the last 20 years. That doesn't mean that all deaths to natural disasters can be attributed to global warming for obvious reasons, but logic dictates that by increasing the severity of the event, at least some of the harm can be attributed to climate change. Singling anyone out is gonna be impossible however.
For the record: the increased frequency and magnitude of disasters is a pretty tame side effect of global warming. There are much bigger long time issues for farming, biodiversity and toxicity in water.
