The year is 2050, massive petawatt scale ocean based data centres are warming the ocean in their immediate vicinity, opening up new breeding grounds for a new killer algae. The algae once unable to grow in regular ocean tempatures thrives in this new ecosystem, and once it matures is able to leave the warmer waters and destroys other marine life it comes into contact with.
This destruction of life in the ocean reverberates around the world as food supply dwindles and hundreds of millions of people begin to starve.
Nah we won’t get that far, turns out re-entering satellites deplete ozone pretty significantly but on a 30y delay. SpaceX and Amazon are gonna keep launching their mega-constellations on the grounds of ‘Nothing bad has happened yet so you can’t prove it will’ and by the time it kicks in it’ll be too late.

All the methane the rockets leak into the upper atmosphere might fuck us over first.
We can finally boil the ocean
