Would you condemn humankind for causing the extinction of 75% of all species?

It seems that humans are responsible for carrying fungi and other diseases around the world. The movement of these dangers is so rapid that we are seeing huge die-offs and perhaps extinctions of many species: bees, frogs, bats, etc. In addition we are responsible for the rapid heating of our planet which is leading to more species extinctions. We expect that the rate of extinctions will rise.

What does this make you feel about humankind? Do you hate us? Feel guilty? Are you proud? Are we merely complacent? Other than to God, are we responsible, and if so, to what? Or whom? How do you feel about this, and how do you explain it to yourself?
