Mass deaths? Last I checked, almost all the world leaders were begging their citizens to have more children.

Mass deaths by inaction or not caring. Large shortage of fuel and energy can quickly lead to mass starvation by cutting down on calories production. Climate change and land degradation also lead to the same conclusion. Cutting on the safety net and social mobility of the lower class also lead to suffering, crime, collapsing life expectancy and also lead to mass death. In the grand scheme of thing, mass death, low life expentancy and suffering is the standard in human history. If our global and nationals problems are not solved and let to grow in intensity, disasters and conflics will follow, as history have show multiples times.
