The Expanse, The Captive's War, The Divide (Dewes), any of David Weber's series, The Palladium Wars, The Interdependency, The Light Brigade, Seveneves. All relatively recent publications. Certainly some interhuman conflict involved in many of them, but they're not banging you on the head that humans are ultimately bad.

Seveneves is extremely harsh against at least some humans I'd say. The Expanse has the slogan "you had paradise, and you paved it" repeated a few times.

    The Expanse has some environmentalist characters in it, but I think the series as a whole doesn't tend that way. In my reading of the series it portrays the human need to consume and reach further out as just as natural as anything else.

For a guy best known for a very bad plagiarism of CS Forester, I see him recommended way too often. Just read the real thing.
