Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The Victoria-based environmentalist group 300.org, informed by the latest climate science, informs people about the need to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from the present dangerous 390 parts per million (ppm) to 300 ppm for a safe planet for all peoples and all species (for details and extensive documentation see "300.org - return atmosphere CO2 to 300 ppm ": 300.org - return atmosphere CO2 to 300 ppm ).
300.org has been delivering the following succinct message as a flyer to households and citizens in the northern part of Melbourne (capital of Victoria) called Heidelberg - people should do likewise around Australia and indeed around the World.
300 ppm CO2.
Top climate scientists & UK Royal Society say we must DECREASE atmospheric CO2 concentration from the present 390 ppm to 300-350 ppm ASAP for a safe planet for all peoples & all species.
Unfortunately, world governments and the pro-coal Australian Liberal-National Party Opposition & Labor Government (the Lib-Labs) want to INCREASE CO2 & other greenhouse gas pollution.
Australia is a world leader in per capita GHG pollution (0.3% of world population, its domestic and exported GHG pollution is 3% of world total). The Lib-Labs are betraying our Children & Planet.
300.org for 24 October 350 Day.
For a more detailed and documented version of this message see "Message from Gideon Polya for 350 day. 24 October UN Day & 350 Day – Science says reduce CO2 to ~300 ppm ": Message from Gideon Polya for 350 day. 24 October UN Day & 350 Day – Science says reduce CO2 to ~300 ppm .
