How does mass deaths from diseases like small pox, malaria, and the like fit into the picture? Once we hit a certain point the deaths from the recurrence of disease and plagues will outweigh the ecodamage.

The issue of AGW as it relates to contagion is that the critters that carry contagions will migrate with climate shifts into new habitats and infect people without immunities.

Given the severe strain put on world economies by loosing cites, wars, refugees and massive food and clean water shortages, it will not likely be possible to produce vaccines and vaccinate quickly enough.

That is how it fits in.

The only bright side to that picture is that if there is a rally bad pandemic, there will be less fighting over food and water.
