Next would be air and water pollution, but those tend to be more regionalized problems.
At least in the US, depletion of aquifers also concerns me. Some people think of groundwater as a free, unlimited source of water.
GM crops? Nuclear power? These don't concern me very much.

Your list matches mine pretty well. I would probably throw in habitat and ecosystem destruction (or lack of preservation) pretty high on my list too. And I'm actually pro-nuclear; it is probably our best short term solution to global warming.
