Humanity, everybody!

Termites are masterful soil engineers capable of erecting cathedral-like edifices out of dirt, saliva and feces. To create and maintain their homes, they become miners, masons, scaffolders, plasterers and roofers. Working together, they don’t just build simple nests; they install air-conditioning, central heating and even security devices.

I have:

Dirt, saliva and feces.

I can imagine being able to create some effective security devices, using these resources. I just can't find a way to even start a sketch for central heating, leave alone air-conditioning.

Don't be hard on yourself, I am sure you could build a thermosiphon passive air conditioning system with your feces!

No, the termites won't stow away our carbon. We emit too much of it.
