When they find out another earth like planet

Is it the space agencies or the media or your creepy neighbor with a telescope whoever Is coming out with such claims need to take some time off. We get it there is the Goldilocks zone where you happen to find a speck of rock/ gas ball revolving under Some star - xxx-999 something. Indeed a great discovery but we really need to draw a line. On calling every other planet as an "earth like" planet. Our closest earth - like planet or twin. Is about four light years away which we will not be able to visit with the technology that we have today. That does not mean you can claim all planets as earth like based on a few features you speculate that it would possess. It gets tiring after some time reading through the articles every couple of days. I used to find it in the News few times a month, now it is every other day! Please Stop, earlier people used to be interested now the Interest is dropping. Since the tag earth like planet is not a rarity anymore. One of the collateral problems is that this might trigger is the embedment of this thought that the abundance of earth like planets into our minds.

The next time you want to get up and go for an earth run or participate in earth hour or a march for climate change: That embedded thought of yours comes to its natural play without your knowing even. (It would be saying to you if you We’re listening to it that there are plenty of earth like planets why bother?) Do you know what people like me/general public tend to think when you say earth like?

We think there are going to be life there and animals and trees and habitat and what not! If we happen to go by your claims I really think we would have not less of any different Experience than the brave 8 /7 had in interstellar. So what point I am trying to put across here Is that please be patient with our claims, you are pushing the general public interest out of Space.
