Loss of biodiversity and microplastics pollution are even higher in my opinion.

Than global warming and CO2 emissions?!
Geoengineering could maybe bring temperatures back down, but you can't just replant an old growth forest and out all the old plants, fungi and animals back.

If microplastics are behind the fertility drop, reverse flynn effect or obesity crisis they would also be more important in the ~100 year timeline.

Good thing that landfills don't cause either.
