All that is already present without climate change. By not quantifying it, your claims are meaningless. Perhaps burning oil (and all the technology enabled by it) is what gave us global stability in the first place since countries could get richer by being productive instead of conquering each other.

That, and nuclear weapons (MAD), very much yes. It's not oil per se, but cheap energy (non-energy use of petrochemicals notwithstanding). We're not in danger of running out of that resource.
Climate change is threatening food supply and habitability. That much is obvious, since it's already happening. The rest is not hard to guess, as mass migrations (albeit on a much lower scale) are also a thing that happened in the past.
