By 2099, climate change could be one of the leading causes of death in the world. With an increase of 3.5 degrees Celsius in mean surface temperature compared to a pre-industrial average, it was estimated that around 45 people per 100,000 population could die in that year due to effects caused by climate change. Only death rates from heart disease and strokes would surpass that value.
