Then subsequently regrets it. One day while playing in his lab Alfred invented dynamite and basically blew up the gold mining and bank heist industry. He felt so bad he went on to create a little thing called the Nobel Peace Prize.

Without someone inventing plastics, we wouldn’t have had that scene in American Beauty with the wide shot of a plastic bag in the wind, a name for the girls in Mean Girls, or turtles who die because we fucked with the ecosystem.

While a lot of these will involve physical destruction we can’t look past Galileo who backs up his boy Copernicus and lets everyone know the Earth was not the centre of the universe.

As if the robots taking over wasn’t bad enough, Tim Burton gave us a vision of Apes rising up and becoming super-intelligent, ultimately leading to….
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
2011
In 1992 we were obsessed with the idea of sentient robots taking over. Now it is getting more and more realistic.

There are a thousand ways we could throw the towel in on this planet with the colonisation of Mars looking likely. Knowing us we will then kill all the Martians and name the streets after the people that did it. But for this particular entry we have decided to run with the war between the Terminator Cyborgs and the super intelligent Apes. Regardless of who wins, humanity loses, and we fucking deserve too. All except Elon Musk who will sell us out to the eventual winner like a Theon Greyjoy type species traitor living out his existence like a pet.

based entirely on oil-covered birdlife. In some ways, you almost have to respect how shameless BP was after Deepwater. It was like they were that flatmate who stood there the day after they threw up everywhere and wanted credit for cleaning everything. So successful was this strategy that Simon Bridges used it a year later with the Rena disaster and made sure to get great photos while advocating for drilling.
BP tries to create the first renewable fuel source...

Piggy Muldoon had an idea about natural gas and he was about 50% right. For every hydro dam, there was an extension of a refinery. We could have gone with fracking or oil wells in general here but wanted to throw a little national shame into the mix.

You know how bad a company has to be to put suicide nets out its windows to catch productive staff members. Apparently not bad enough for any of us to stop using our iPhones or Xboxs.

Again, we aren’t sure whether this is hurting the planet physically or emotionally. But the idea that we are actively looking for a backup planet while still on this one is the equivalent of your girlfriend’s “it’s complicated” relationship status.
