No matter what how much damage we do to this planet, we are still the only species who have a chance of making it off the planet before it smashes into the sun.

You can say what you want about us and how beautiful nature is, but in the end there are thousand of species that can fly but only one that can play the guitar, thousands of species that can walk, but only one that invented the car, a million species that breath but only one that build a ship to sail under the waters...

The point of all this is that the human species really is something special.
