I am concerned about the welfare of the planet, just that I've had very close personal contact, right?

The Earth is very unique. Being close to a stable star of a certain size (Our sun is in or near the top 10% of the stars in terms of size) not close enough to boil water out and not far from the water is always or almost always frozen. It also has a moon that is large enough that gravitational forces have Keep the core planet's internal merger, creating a magnetic field around the planet which helps protect it from solar wind forces. The solar wind could be removing the air Mars, which has no magnetic field, it's really cold for liquid water and has little mass to sustain liquid water, because water will evaporate due to very low atmospheric pressure. It is my opinion that many aspects of American life (the automobile and the suburbs, dependence on oil greed in some few) is extremely damaging to the long term welfare of society. Do you get a lot of this thinking? Why? When? What Now?

I agree with one bit of the Earth. But the Sun is an average star in terms of heat and size, very common. Western society, with its reliance on consumerism, is a burden to the society and is affecting developing countries to compete and produce these goods at very low prices, leading to increased pollution and dependence on fossil fuels. Regarding the long-term survival of society, who knows. It seems that governments around the world are waiting until it is too afternoon before doing anything and then blame others.
