One billion death by the end of the century. The study does not hint to a reduction in world population, thought. >as a rough rule of thumb, burning roughly 1000 tons of fossil carbon (creating 3700 tons of CO2) causes one future premature death. Measuring carbon emissions in human lives not only makes the numbers easier to understand for nonexperts but also clarifies energy policy priorities: clearly, allowing a policy to cause manslaughter is intuitively unacceptable. The high death tolls that can be attributed to current carbon emissions and that follow from this analysis have immediate and direct energy policy implications. https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/16/16/6074 https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/16/16/6074
