I agree with others that Roger Hallam is wrong when he says that "science predicts" six billion will die this century due to climate change. But the lack of scientific basis for this claim hides a more profound fact about how we do science. Thread. 1/https://twitter.com/BBCHARDtalk/status/1162309729735127040 …

If economic numbers are bollocks, but treated as truth, seems odd that there's so much criticism of people who quote the number of deaths. Sounds like *no one knows* - there hasn't been enough study? Is that correct?

Would it be more accurate to say, scientists' "educated estimates" or "projections" say X number of deaths? Does such estimates even exist?
