Estimated deaths for various future scenarios:
- Accidentally inducing an ice age (which can happen in as little as a year or two) from amelioration efforts: billions
-Successful amelioration efforts backing off GW, with attendant damage to economic dynamism, leaving us with 2050 tech in 2100: hundreds of millions to billions
-GW with slow sea rise but continued powerful economy: Baseline against the ungodly losses of the other two scenarios, but level 2100 tech with its marvels (consider vs. 1900vs today)
