Genesis 8:21  And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. (KJV)

God punished Noah's civilization, as He said He would, and then afterwards promised that it was a one-time thing, that God would never again curse the ground or smite nearly every living thing.  Not a contradiction.
