Collapse

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Is that what they call science now? Speculating about the total number of deaths in the next 84 years? Here are some facts:
"Some 363,500 people die annually from cold, while 43,700 die from excessive heat." Even if the dooming calculations came true, the deaths from cold will still be considerably higher, and the overall death count lower.
The rest is making things up.

Seems the number of heat related deaths are much greater then you are indicating, and steadily on the rise.
It only seems so because they are making things up with models that don't resemble reality. All you have to do is compare the deaths of similar but warmer countries, and you will find less deaths from cold AND heat. Climate models = Propaganda
People in warmer countries are better prepared for the heat. When it snows in New England nobody dies, but when there's a dusting in Texas all hell breaks loose.
