Also you need to consider radon seeping through the ground into your basement.
The chances of radon poisoning varies a lot based on location.

Oh, those silly americans and their cheques. :)

What happens when a jet stream stops or significantly weakens from years of power extraction?

Earth's rotation goes haywire?
Severe weather anomalies?

The grandparent poster didn't mention the very real coercion tactics used by IMF and it's ilk.
Usually in the form of take this loan or we'll
embargo your country to the stone age.

What about the incubation period?
What about how long it is infectious before symptoms occur?
All of those factors have to be considered as well.

How Zen of you.

High five!

They thought I was joking.
This was in back around y2k I think.

I don't believe for one second that human race as a whole will die out.
Peak "insert your favorite resource" will reduce human population drastically. As will other global problems. But what we will have left is something closer to a preindustrial population. Not extinction. There were scattered Mayans still left after their population crashed. As well as people on Easter island.

Even an apocalyptic war will lose it's appeal when 90% of the population has died.
And even if a nuclear war is fought I believe humans are adaptable enough to survive a nuclear winter. You only need a thousand or so humans to survive a nuclear winter.

Last time I looked space travel wasn't easy nor cheap.
We are decades away from spreading out into the solar system. Let alone further.

Only if majority holds that view for a long time.

It was considered a reality for a long time that the earth was flat. Anything else was lunacy or heresy.
It was and to some still is a reality that there is/are benevolent/malevolent all seeing, all hearing, all knowing god/gods.

There is no objective reality. Only limited subjective views of an uncertain, undefinable, unknowable, unimaginably complex reality.

Gödel's incompleteness theorem is a bitch.

I'd say we haven't figured that one out yet.

The environment is changing because of us but not in a direction beneficial to us.

That is just not true.
New renewable energy power plants are on par with coal energy. With coal becoming more expensive in the future. Easily extractable and good quality coal is being used up fast.
It is true that that existing power generation is cheaper with coal. But building new power plants is not.

Seriously:

I wouldn't want any of those implanted in my children because I wouldn't want any of them implanted in me against my will.

Children are people too.

Not seriously at all:
All of them.

You should add:

To keep the citizens content and docile.
