I just saw a commercial for a new History Channel series called "Life After People", that looks like it'll be attempting to answer the question asked in this thread.
The promo showed an old rusted Seattle Space Needle collapsing.
Here's the official description:
Life After People
Premieres January 2008
(120 min.)
The human species appeared on Earth about two million years ago and has been changing it ever since. What will Earth look like in the days, weeks, months, years and millennia after humans are gone? How long would it take for our edifices to crumble–all traces of us gone, to be replaced by primordial forests, wild boar, rare cranes in pristine marshes? The clues to the future are right here in the present but are illuminated when we look through the lens of history. Experts from all fields of science will paint the picture, and the destructions and resurrections will all be animated by the magic of George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic.
