Climate change (=> catastrophic events that are maybe caused by it) are killing "only" 100.000 people or so each year.
Climate change influences the economic activity in a country through crop production etc. and making lots of areas less liveable.
Sure, but it also opens new areas to crop production.
Actually have seen studies saying that the Sahara is shrinking as the Sahel grasslands are spreading north. Perhaps there could be arable land in Africa to actually feed the continent. While I believe the next ice age is thousands of years off it should effect the Southern Hemisphere due to rotational and orbital eccentricies that will cause the south to face away from the sun at the perigee and towards it at the apogee. However, a southern ice age would, (going off info from the Northern Ice Age -10000 years ago) would only glacierize southern Patagonia and maybe New Zealand's South Island. The north should heat up as an inverse opening more arable land in wide open but frozen wastelands like Canada and Russia.
