Death from global famine seems to be the harsher alternative to nuclear exchange, and what we expect to be the primary driver of the climate-based population correction.

As catastrophic existential risks go, I'm still rooting for AI takeover and robot rebellion, which has coolness factor. It also means our electromechanical brethren might continue the quest of exploration and expansion.

If Starfleet was slightly less ethically constrained regarding the more advanced uses of transporter technology, Starfleet could totally arrange it.
