Ice caps melting...
Earthquakes under Greenland...

2. That's an age-old question that's been asked since 2000, with

different distractors. I can't think we are totally, being an optimist usually, but it is depressing on a daily basis. Sometimes I think ignorance is bliss, but I'd rather know what caused our downfall should/when it comes.

like watching a train wreck.

These items you list one by one?
They are merely the scrolling opening credits to the movie we are about to view.
In other words...

You ain't seen nuthin' yet.

We are more than screwed.
We are totally, thoroughly, completely, absolutely, fucked.
That's what we are.

8. Sorry for the choice of words but the answer is yes

big time.

Off the top of my head I'd add to your list:

Peak oil
China dumping our dollars
The coming housing and economic crisis
Congress with no spine (that one bears repeating)
