> 250K dead / year by 2050, 5 million / year or so by 2100. Can that be fully offset by increase standards of living and improving healthcare/medicine? 250k is not a lot statistically on a global scale (and I really doubt the capability of these models to accurately predict what's going to happen in 50+ years) > The tough part is that such models have a lot of uncertainty and that it is very well possible to be alive but to be utterly miserable. I'm not saying it's going to be tough for a lot of people in some places. But I don't really see how for humanity as a whole it can be much more than a slowdown than potentially can be fully compensated by further technological progress. Of course increasing economic inequality can likely only make it worse rather than better
