What are the 5 biggest problems facing the Human Race and in what priority?

Question

I have made a list of what I think are our major problems but without any priority. You may use my list or come up with your own but please keep in mind that I am talking about our whole planet not just specific regions or countries - I know many of you would like to see affordable 90 inch Hi-def (1080p) Plasma screens as number one. Also try to make the problem specific in description but encompassing the major populous. Here's my list of problems:

Energy Crisis

(High oil prices, Peak oil, high food prices)

Food Crisis

(High food prices, famines, food rationing, starvation)

Pollution

(Green house gas emissions, acid rain, toxic waterways and reserves, disease, bad health)

Climate Change

(Melting polar caps, rising sea levels, water shortages, floods and other escalated natural disasters)

Economic Disasters

(Sub prime crash, stock market crash, business collapse, money shortage)

Epidemic Disasters

(Bird Flu, Aids, Bubonic plague, mad cow, Ebola)

Environmental Disasters

(Earth quakes, Cyclones (Hurricanes, Typhoons), Tornadoes, Floods, Landslides, Fires)

Human aggression

(War, terrorism, murder, mass murder, intimidation, humiliation, racism, sexism, prejudice)

Over Population

(Food shortage, water shortage, resource shortages, housing shortage, price escalation, disease, pollution, greed, wars, prejudice, murder, higher mortality rate from environmental disasters)

Answer 1

greed and power; everything in the world is for power and money. all moves are made based on it and leaders around the world will make moves that are for their best interests. who cares about what is best for the world; just keep my pockets warm.

Answer 2

World population, 1970 approximately 3,300,000,000

World population, 2008 approximately 6,700,000,000

and growing by 1,000,000,000 every four days.

Most other problems are just symptoms of this one.

Answer 3

1. Food quality and supply.2. Enviro-destruction ( clear cut logging, air/water pollution, excessive garbage production to name a few). 3.Oil and it's negative politics. Along w/ overuse of it.4. War mongering, military industrial complex. Earth was Garden of Eden, now it's been a war planet since man and my final problem came along.5. Religion.
