Earth will wash its hands of us, and life will continue. Even if we do cause extreme damage to the planet, and much of life is wiped out somehow, there's still plenty of time left for another advanced civilization (or two, or three) to eventually arise and possibly be much more successful than we've been.
However, I do wonder if the competitive nature of life on Earth, and possibly everywhere in this universe, makes inevitable that every "intelligent" species eventually wipes itself out.
Life is one choice after another, every minute of every day we make choices. And, every choice is locked in the second we make it, we can't go back in time and change it. All of us can look back at past choices and think, 'what if I'd chosen differently at that point?', but we only get one life, and we only get one path through that life. And, life is short, we only see a tiny fraction of the whole picture. Plus, our view of the past is murky at best, even for things that happened within our lifetimes, let alone long before. Our view of the future is non-existent, for every correct prediction there are millions of incorrect ones--no one knows what's going to happen. Live your life, do your best every second, and you'll get through it, one way or the other--time doesn't stop.
