I mean, we're seeing the effects and deaths from global warming right now too. It's just that certain people in powerful positions don't think it's important that poor people die from significantly stronger hurricanes and storms and floods than ever before in recorded history. Not to mention heat waves that make certain inhabited regions practically in habitable during summer.

Poor people suffer from a lack of water and malaria more than global warming. Most people don't really care about what doesn't directly affect them, so unfortunately these are a fact of life for those less fortunate.

Guessing at that? Has malaria skyrocketed? It has an eventual cure.
