Hi,
Could you tell me if the following sentences read well from a native speaker's viewpoint ?
1. The effects of global warming will kill us in our millions if we won't listen to scientists
2. The effects of global warming will kill us in millions if we won't listen to scientists
Thanks !

These do:
1. The effects of global warming will kill us in our millions if we won't listen to our scientists.
2. The effects of global warming will kill us by the millions if we won't listen to the scientists.
1. The effects of global warming will kill us in our millions if we won't listen to our scientists.
2. The effects of global warming will kill us by the millions if we won't listen to the scientists.
I would suggest your rephrasing not change "will" to "would."
It would kill if we hadn't
It will kill if we don't/won't.
I also like the original's use of "us" because it's a shared problem. Casting it with "people" makes it more removed and not OUR problem.
