Mass Extinctions
Homo sapiens is one of the beings of the current iteration of species on the earth. I think it would be a mistake to think there won’t be more iterations.
War Between Pakistan and India
They think a nuclear war between Pakistan and India would send radioactive dust into the upper atmosphere that would circle the earth, and this dust cloud would cause a significant reduction in food production worldwide, such that there would be widespread starvation as a result.

Slavery
There may be as many as 40 million slaves in the world today.
Slavery happens when the local economic system cannot absorb the size of the population, i.e., the surplus population is much bigger than the number of salaried jobs. That is true in many locations around the world.
According to the link below, slaves are much cheaper today than there were at the height of American slavery in the 19th century.

Accept what you cannot change and you will know more peace.
Nightmare Scenario
A terrorist sets off a suitcase nuke in a major city somewhere in the world, and the world economy collapses. We see a Weimar-like inflation in the cost of all goods because of chronic shortages. There’s widespread starvation everywhere.
Fallen Leaves
In passing, my uncle John said she is gone.
She was such a sweet siren-song
In my youth — and oh so strong.
How can it be…that she is gone?
My buddy Jim succumbed to a disease.
We fell in with each other with such ease —
A true brother in spirit all lifelong.
How can it be…that he is gone?
My sister…always looking out for me.
She could even find me up a tree.
Big sis, a guardian angel all along.
How can it be…that she is gone?
My parents, they doted on me.
My mom bounced me on her knee.
My dad and I golfed all day long.
How can it be…that they are gone?
All of them — gone, gone, gone.
How can it be…that all are gone?
