The only one we are hurting with this, is the human race.
No. It affects the entire eco-system. Not just the humans. On the other hand, humans have the capability to adapt (due to the improving technology). But other living forms won't be able to adapt and they'll become extinct.
Yes, many will become instinct, human intelligence is actually a cause of mass-extinction, and don't get me wrong I think it's a shame.
But in a thousands of year evolution's capacity of adaptation is even better than how we can adapt with technology.
Some species have survived conditions worse than what we are doing to them. Nature always finds away, and I've less faith in the human race for that.
