What's this?
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.

Humanity and the biosphere are acutely threatened by man-made global warming but ignorant or corporate-funded climate denialism, the effective climate denialism of political inaction and the growing enormity of what needs to be done lead scientists to say that it may be too late to stop climate catastrophe. However decent folk cannot give up in trying to save the Planet (see "Man-made Global Warming. Is it too late to stop climate catastrophe?": Man-made Global Warming. Is it too late to stop climate catastrophe? ).
