They've pissed off Mother Nature and their ideology will not save the world from the consequences. After all, Mother Nature can't be bribed.

The bad news is that it may mean that humanity will go the way of the dinosaurs.

Nonetheless, the Earth has been around for a few billion years and will last another few billion years. Perhaps a more enlightened species will come to be that will treasure the planet, life, and sanity. It seems to me that the symmetry of the universe requires the existence of benevolent beings, a state of existence which seems to escape our grasp.
