>Keep in mind similar simulations underestimated climate change. They underestimated Covid. It would be naive to have faith in the 20 million estimate.

I think it would be safe to assume that all those estimates were politically motivated, rather than based in fact.

Assume? I would never assume, especially about motivations. Princeton might be a prestigious university, but the simulation was done by humans. I wouldn't assume anything other than human fallibility.
