Karma is bull. On the other hand, reality isn't. His behavior led directly to this. No need for anything mystical to tally up and eventually strike back, it's just a direct cause and effect. The death of entire species could result in amazing good things occuring with reality, since reality doesn't care about the nature of an act, it doesn't really care about anything. (In fact, that's exactly what happened on Earth thanks to a certain meteor.)
If you want to know one fatal flaw in karma, it's this. Karma basically means I can do whatever I want to someone and I assume they deserve it. Think about it, that's EXACTLY what it means. If whatever happens to you is something you deserve, than the instrument that executes it must be held in high esteem. If that very instrument carrying out the karmic justice is also held accountable, then negative energy will simply keep building and building until it reaches critical mass. The same would apparently happen to positive energy. There would end up with every single instant being both infinitely good and infinetly evil, which is a concept that is simply nonsensical. In a very true way, karma is a self contradiction and makes no sense. Karma is incorrect.
But, this case is not yet decided.
If you want an example of a case where both sides act with profesionalism and integrity (integrity basically just translates to practicing what you preach), check the case recently in Dover over evolution.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
