Covid 19 not the big filter (none / 0)
{Global Warming -> Climate Change -> Weather Change} will be the big filter.  Land area between 30 degrees North and South of the equator, or roughly where 80% of the global population lives will be severely affected.  Political, social, and economic instabilities - think "Arab Spring," the rise of ISIS, etc. - caused by food and water shortages are certain.  

In fact we're already starting to see such happening along the India/Pakistan border over control of the Indus river basin.  India recently grabbed control of the headwaters of the Indus: Kashmir.  Thus India now controls who, where, and how irrigation can happen in the Indus valley. Pakistan simply cannot allow India stay in control since it would mean submitting to covert or overt rule of Pakistan by the BJP.

Prognosis in the long run: war
