How many people per year would you estimate ISIS kills?

Is it more than 150,000 people [1]? Because that's how many people the WHO estimates currently die right now as a result of climate change. And the number is expected to go up to 250,000 by 2030-2050 [2].

Other estimates have been even higher, e.g. [3] which came up with 400,000 extra deaths due to climate change per year already.
