"Look how stupid the first five sound already:"

Only because you don't understand what is behind those claims.

Yeah, on the face of it, they are pretty trivial. However, all but number 4 are a side effect of the fact that different things grow in different climates. Change the climate and you change what can be grown. We can live without wines. Or grapes, even. But what about wheat and corn? The Green Revolution pushed the Malthus solution back, but at the expense of making our major cultivars more dependent on particular growing conditions. And it takes time to come up with new cultivars.
