Can you elaborate a bit on what exactly is your intention?

Specifically, is this meant to be a scale of severity categories with one example for each, or is it meant as an exhaustive list of all relevant apocalyptic scenarios put into a ranking?

A scale of roughly-ordered tiers. It's a shorthand for expressing the level of devastation in far-future failure modes.
