I would argue that mass death happening somewhere else is almost an inevitability by historical arguments; it just doesn't look like it's climate related. Is a refugee from desertified Africa who drowns in the Mediterranean a "climate death"?

Mass death won't look like the Al Gore movie. It'll look like COVID: a line going up on a chart which people can ignore.
