You're not David Attenborough

But I'm at a loss as to how someone would realistically accomplish the goal. Most of the ideas conspiracy theorists have (chemtrails, vaccines, mass sterilization, etc) are kind of unexciting

You need to see the bonkers British sci-fi series Utopia as a late Christmas present to yourself, assuming you haven't already. It uses one of the very methods you reckon is boring; I won't spoil it by saying which. Utopia loves to shock with ruthless cruelty, rather than gore (it is very, very violent) and is viewable for free as an online boxset within the UK:

If you can't get this to work by whatever skills you can muster, things become trickier, because I think there's no region 1 DVD release available to buy, though there is blu-ray.

The first series is much better than the second, but the second one isn't terrible. There won't be any more, apparently, though IMO a third series was easily possible (probably not a fourth). It's by no means perfect, but it demonstrates that the actual means by which your evil genius(es) attempt their deed is less important than motivation, character, horrid plot twists, and blazing demented self-justification.
