You can't generalize too much, nor can you assume humans will just "fix it for everyone" like the author seems to imply we are some enlightened, higher species.

You can't generalize too much, nor can you assume humans will just "fix it for everyone" like the author seems to imply we are some enlightened, higher species. That assumption can also backfire. A highly adaptive species capable of grouping up gives leeway for some extreme solutions which will solve the problem for a subpopulation at the cost of another. Humans might solve the problem, but not in the way which is best for the entire population. Plenty of examples in both the past and the present.
