And Science is the only reason we know that's happening and that we should try and stop it. 

then science is also the only reason why this is happening.

Science is a method by which we can learn true things about the natural world. What is done with that information is a consequence of that knowledge but should not be blamed on that knowledge but rather the one that uses that knowledge poorly. The fact that we learned about nuclear bombs is not to blame for why two were actually dropped it is a consequence, the ones who physically dropped them and ordered that are to blame. Religions, on the other hand, are belief systems which dictate certain behavior and can thus specific religions can be blamed for certain actions if they are dictated by that religion's doctrine. 

For which is a bigger threat, I would argue that humanity would not be humanity without the ability to learn true things about the natural world and develop technology which is science at its most basic. Normally I would say that's being a little too general for the term science but the OP has basically defined science as any technological advancement of any kind so it's fair.
