Your article is our reality. Everyone now is waking up and realizing the doom before our eyes and still avoiding their part on fixing it. .... it seems we are to late to save the people and animals of the world, not that we couldn't but because of the lies of disinformation or laziness.

Sadly yes, few authorities are taking environmental issues seriously here on Earth. But I think there is an interesting potential parallel between us and an alien civilization. If salting a star is done for practical purposes like waste disposal, then it seems quite possible that it is evidence that a civilization exists there (or did before)--particularly one imperiled by their own planetary decline. Since the detectable half-life remnants would remain for thousands of years, the civilization could be long gone before we could ever see the evidence. This, of course, would be one explanation for the Fermi Paradox. It also is a rather dark solution!
