As for the gloom and doom scenarios, I suppose anything is possible. I forget which
Kurt Vonnegut book has a theme of Earth turned to ice because biotechnologists
experimenting with a substance called Ice-9 (I think) ineradicably lowered the freezing

That book was called "Cat's Cradle"

He has another book "Galapagos" that has an interesting take on human evolution.
