That's a great question! It's probably way too hard to gauge something like that simply because the effects will take different amounts of time to cause different amounts of damage. Plus, what would we have to compare it with? We're all in this together!

Global warming is a natural occurance and is going to take more than a few hundred years to actually make an impact on society as we know it today.
The people screaming about this is doing so to get media attention its the secular version of the world is coming to an end. They predicted back in the 60s all kinds of bad things by the year 2000 and we are still trucking along so much for predictions by the 'experts'.

a scientic reasonable answer is not possible.
first, what we would have to measure would in fact be the excess deaths, because people die all the time from many causes. for example, from 3 mile island event it is statistically certain that the excess deaths from released radiation is less than one. if a person were to die, it would be from cancer, and the cancer produced may not take effect until the person died of another, unrelated reason.
another dilemma in this computation is that the change in climate may actually improve life conditions in some communities, so that we have to balance these extended life outcomes against those who died early due to climate change.
third is people have choices. during the last ice age people moved to the southern regions of Europe and North America to avoid the ice mass. it is hard to predict how people will chose and the effectiveness or outcome of those choices.
in the last several decades, the genocides affecting population deaths have not been climate related. so even after the era of global warming has ended, it may not be possible to establish a reliable estimate of associated death rates.

Zero. Global warming is fantasy.

global warming is affecting ecosystems so food chains are broken. It is believed that if actions are not taken we will all die from floods, draughts, famines and so on, but in long terms

That is future. In the present, children are dying from many causes. if cannot take care of the now, how can we take care of the future?

About the same number as nuclear winter will cause.

We'll do something about it, before they all die; or, maybe not.
