One other indirect cause of Neanderthal decline was probably the eruption of the Campi Flegrei volcano, which would have reduced hunting ranges and crop plants in certain areas of Europe for a decade or more. This would have increased the population pressures, and lead to some more violent interactions between the two groups.

@Name-cz5jj Although there is currently no evidence for such an impact causing the extinction of the Neanderthals. And the Younger Dryas impact is still controversial. I'm sitting on the fence regarding the latter.

@everettduncan7543 Yes, I know that is strictly the case, but they had to forage for nuts, fruits, berries, tubers and the like. If no plants are growing, you have none of those to round out your diet.

These guys obviously never walked through a closed canopy temperate rainforest consisting solely of conifers with ferns in the understory. They might want to rethink their hypothesis a bit.
