I know, aren't humans awesome?

Most species just eat all the corn and die, or convert the atmosphere oxygen causing a mass extinction.

Humans are looking up and going "oh wait, we are causing a problem, how do we solve this?" and then they follow it up with "and even if we solve it, we need to do something about the whole carbon cycle thing ending, how do we get life off this rock?"

I don't know of any other species that has gotten anywhere close to this.

Humans are great.
