The unsung heroes of our atmosphere aren't even trees! While everyone's thanking trees for oxygen, phytoplankton is sitting there like the disappointed guy in the meme, knowing they produce 50-80% of Earth's oxygen.

Trees are just hogging the spotlight with their fancy leaves and Instagram-worthy presence.
