FWIW the UN FAO (Food and Agriculture) Climate change and food security: risks and responses report maps out multiple scenarios based on degrees of response to the various climate change possibilities.
These include "billions" (ie > 2 billion) facing hunger, food insecurity and starvation to varying levels .. which is not hard to imagine given that the 2015 number for that was already 0.8 billion and the world population will be increasing until 2050 at least.
I'll assume that those interested can find and read the report for themselves.
Do you have a link? All links I can find are broken ones to the FAO's website which doesn't seem to have it.
But even what you said doesn't mean billions will starve or die from miserable conditions. Maybe billions will have to put on a raincoat as they're "suffering" from more rain than usual. This is the problem with alarmism - exaggerated claims that aren't coming from science.
Website experience degraded The European Climate and Health Observatory is undergoing reconstruction until June 2024 to improve its performance. We apologise for any possible disturbance to the content and functionality of the platform.
Give them a day or so to migrate doc storage I guess.

You asked another user for a link, I found the premise interesting and found a well researched paper that includes billions experiencing starvation within the entire possible scenarios (action needs to be taken to avoid type paths into the future).
> This is the problem with alarmism - exaggerated claims that aren't coming from science.
Well, that's your position - I work in geophysical exploration for minerals and energy etc. and none of the IPCC statements within the climate reports seem wildly exagerated, they strictly layout scenarios based on current trends in resource usage and responses and parallel those that are a standard deviation or so above and below.
I'd have to wait for the site to get fixed to be sure but "billions facing hunger, food insecurity and starvation to varying levels" is a much weaker statement than "billions experiencing starvation". The former describes how the world already is today.
