Does it count if it causes major droughts/ famines in Asia that lead to Chinese or Indian expansion in search of resources and in turn causes a war that sucks in the US and then goes nuclear?
Yes, that's the kind of scenario that makes it a global catastrophic risk rather than just a moderately bad problem.
