All of those are transitory cultural issues, backed by the increasingly sensationalist media, except covid and global warming. Covid has already spent its wrath for the most part. Climate change (global warming, as a term, doesn't cover the multipronged destruction of ecosystems throughout the world) is legitimately catastrophic; if anything it's undersold. The only question is the exact timeline of its effects.

US has produced less CO2 (almost) every year since 1990. The real concern are the pesticides that have reduced insect populations. They build up in the ecosystem and can take many years to flush out.
