India Today  

Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates in an interview with Bloomberg has reiterated his concern for climate change. Gates said that by 2060, climate change could be just as deadly as COVID-19, and by 2100 it could be five times as deadly. By the end of the century, if emissions growth stays high, climate change could be responsible for 73 extra deaths per 100,000 people. In a lower emissions scenario, the death rate drops to 10 per 100,000," Gates explained taking an annualised death rate of 14 per 100,000 people due to COVID 19.
