Heck, AI poses a greater existential threat to humanity than GW, and I think that's a long shot.

What really worries me is that there is still enough nukes to completely eradicate humans several times over, and some of them are held by crazy leaders. After that, I worry that biological warfare will become cheap, easy, and untraceable. Any crazy could eventually possess the ability to harm millions.

GW is an extremely small and unfortunate outcome of humanity's psychopathy. Until psychopathy is resolved, GW will remain as a distraction.
Humans humans humans- perhaps a bit too human- centric seeing as how humans "share" the ecosystem with other organisms, many of which bear the brunt of human activity more than humans themselves.
