We, being the arrogant, self absorbed species that we are, will not survive such actions because we are the cause of it and would rather go down kicking and screaming as opposed to changing our society to not be destructive.

But, it will be completely deserved. And you are right, history will not forgive us. Not that anyone making lots of money from the destruction will give a rats ass about that. Or anything, for that matter.
