I think it's 2 & 3 plus ...

  1. Multiple tipping points reached accelerating climate change.
  2. Acidification of oceans, gulf stream current creation, and microplastic pollution cause collapse of most natural food chains on the planet.
  3. Drought and floods washes fertile soil away.
  4. Famine causes billions of deaths.
  5. Drug resistant bacteria causes billions of deaths.
  6. Wars fought mostly by drones over remaining pockets of arable land destabilise remaining economies and supply chains.
