>Either show me the "science" backing up your belief that 10% of the world's population will decline as a direct result of global warming, or it's religious dogma.

This is today...

Global Warming Leads to 150,000 Deaths Every Year

And tomorrow:

According to the UW-Madison and WHO team, other model-based forecasts of health risks from global climate change project that:
  • Climate-related disease risks of the various health outcomes assessed by WHO will more than double by 2030.
  • Flooding as a result of coastal storm surges will affect the lives of up to 200 million people by the 2080s.
  • Heat related deaths in California could more than double by 2100.
  • Hazardous ozone pollution days in the Eastern U.S. could increase 60 percent by 2050.

    That doesn't even take into account droughts and famine, and that things are accelerating beyond what I thought they would...
A more recent study says this:

Climate Change Kills 400,000 a Year

...and apparently just getting started.
