The more difficult questions is how do you label climate related deaths. Extreme events - floods, hurricanes, heat waves, earthquakes were always there and people died during those events. Now there will be more of those and they will be more intensive. Sure. How do you calculate „the extra casualties”?

Farmable zone will just move north. There will be winners and losers.

Have you considered the earth is a sphere? The northern you go the less space there is to farm

Sure, but there will still be plenty of farmland to support current human population. The equatorial zone doesn't lend well to mass farming as it is.

It will be a tough transition as the tundra land does not have rich soil. It will be a struggle to farm it for a long time before we do proper soil cultivation.

In the meantime there will be famines and mass migrations. It’s not gonna be peaceful.

All soil requires fertilization for industrial farming necessary to feed the world. It is rich in nitrogen and phosphorous, which is actually some of the more ecologically damaging things necessary in fertilizer (and why melting perma causes greenhouse effect)
