To give some perspective, that’s a little less than two Nazi holocausts per year for 100 years.
Damn, the fact this is the case yet the threat is still ignored says a lot about where we're at collectively!
Collectively, I’d say we’re on a gradient ranging from denial to resignation on the stages of grief model.
A lot of people means there’s a lot of social inertia before we see the change reflected as a species.
Capitalism 1 billion dead
Me, knowing there will be a lot more than one billion deaths next century:
But, but... money! Greed is good and definitely not degenerate! Just attend these liberal psy-op-I mean.. getyogethers to learn how we mentally pirouette through ideological justifications.
Right...The greedy justifications are looking wacker and wacker directly due to the planet becoming less and less habitable. Hopefully society as a whole will wake up before it's too late.
How does this affect my investment returns?
Something something my profits
Im sure the forever chemicals in the water will kill people sooner.
They've been there for a very long time. They make us sick, shorten our lives but clearly don't kill enough people to register on the global population counter.
What's the plan tho?
Having a plan which can be legally enforced would be a solid place to start.
Anarchy. Anything short of literally ‘removing’ those in power and dismantling all of the corporations that are perpetuating the bullshit by force will result in a planet that will be uninhabitable for our grandchildren. Possibly our children.
end the big polluting industries by any means necessary
"Do nothing lol" is still a choice, one you are implying you'd make because 
With luck, it'll eventually get all the apemen. Time to let evolution pick our successors. Humanity is a dead-end.
Humanity already took the easy to grab resources. Whatever comes after humans is fucked and unable to advance far enough to get off the planet, as all the gear needed to get the more difficult to grab stuff will have degraded to uselessness by the time a successor has evolved
Narrator: We won't act fast, because the ruling class doesn't care.
mostly wealthier humans could be responsible for the deaths of one billion mostly poorer humans
Framing it that way will only excite those wealthier humans. 
No one that can do anything about it cares. But feel free to pass it along the echo chamber.
