If I were being serious the closest thing to a real emergency is probably elder care/elder abuse around the world. Aging population, kids mobile/dispersed around world, fraying safety nets, shaky retirement finances
Climate change is a few more years out

Who frayed the safety nets, though?
I'd suggest everything you cited in this tweet is a symptom of a different emergency that would need addressing first.

20-30 years for ZERO emissions (!) worldwide! We're already locked in for 1,3 degrees and 1 m sea level rise, even if tomorrow down to 0 emissions. Over 1,5 we're in the range where the tipping point e.g. of greenland ice (long term increase of 7 m sea level) is becoming likely.
