I think while it’s some evidence that he considers his analysis still quite conservative, the most important contextualization of Danny Bresler’s analysis, for our very high-level purposes of understanding expert opinion as laymen, is that (iirc) he perceives it to be a new/contrarian position, where most estimates of climate change mortality burden is too low (from his perspective).
I also prefer the framing of things I hyperlink as “links I added that I thought might be helpful for helping to understanding the question further,” rather than “sources,” but I think that was my own fault for trying to write a short post at the possible expense of accuracy.
This doesn’t seem to be the context in which you were dropping the link, seeing as they all have top-level summary numbers that feed into your boundaries and point 1 doesn’t say anything about 2m/year being a lower bound, seeing as you are using it as the upper bound. I would like to see these other estimates of climate mortality as they aren’t referenced or seem to feed into point 1.
On a meta-level I think disconnecting sources with the context with which you are referencing them is very unfriendly to the reader as they have to wade through your links to find what you are saying where, but apparently these aren’t even sources for adding evidence to your claims. So I am further befuddled by your inclusion of incidental contextualising literature when you haven’t included references to substantiate your claims. I also think your edit comes across as quite uncharitable to readers (and self-defeating) if you don’t think you can change people’s minds.
