Probably unlikely that those will wipe out humanity, at least we don't have any concrete evidence or examples of them (e.g. we have't built an AI that can do much yet, we don't have nanotech that will self replicate and kill us all, aliens have yet to show up etc.). Bioweapons seems unlikely to end humanity as someone will win the war, and personally I think MAD prevents widespread use.
The only thing in your list that does make sense is an asteroid impact, which we don't have much say over.
With climate change we know a) it's happening, b) it's going to affect us in some pretty major ways and c) we can do something about it.
None of those hold true for your points.
- Simon_says 8y ago> Bioweapons seems unlikely to end humanity ... I was more thinking an infectious agent that's modified to be particularly deadly. I believe that the second law of thermodynamics implies with high probability that humanity will not last forever, so I don't think it's that unlikely that something will wipe us out.
