Should be 20+ crises.

The article left out 7, deforestation, over population, pollution, plastic in the oceans and food chain, religious wars, religion vs human rights and falling education standards.

the article left out some hotspots like the artificial islands China is creating in the South China Sea

All domestic violence is started by something

usually an inability to control emotions and that is symptomatic of poor education

not being taught emotions and how to be aware of and control them

Still a global problem

When I die, I want to die as my grandfather died, pleasantly in his sleep
Not screaming like the passengers in his car.

Your right in that all those problems are symptomatic in one way or another involving negative attitudes.

Greed, ignorance, closed minds, racism, sexism, et al.

All of which could be dealt with by much higher education standards worldwide.

There are positives amongst all the negatives.

first lesson. Change is the only constant.

Religious texts remain unchanged while the rest of world is constantly changing, this creates ongoing conflicts like religions intolerance towards abortion, euthanasia, homosexuals, womens rights, childrens rights and mens rights.

The White House administration is changing, becoming far worse than the previous administration.

Trumps thoughts and policies change all the time, he changes like some swinging nutcase on acid.

Change can lead to reform, this is what religion needs to do, starting with human rights would be a start.

All of those issues in the article involve change, mostly going from good to bad or from bad to worse.
