Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

That’s all? I thought it would be much more than that.
That’s approximately the total number of people who will die in the next 100 years from anything. There’s only about 60 million deaths per year now, which will climb to like 120 million by the end of the century due to shifting demographics. These authors are basically just saying “a majority of deaths will have some climate related basis”.
