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.

It said most Swiss glaciers will disappear by 2080 if global warming continues at its current pace.

where will all the naked people stand then?

"Your a### it will make any changes to opinions on global warming" and perhaps rather than

raising awareness about climate change

the picture will raise something else .... a cacophony of laughter !!! :smiles:

Still looks like a load of bums need some care and attention :roflmAo: veritably !!!!!!!!

Why does this have to be top news? Is that the only good thing anyone could find to report about. If you want to see a whole lot of nude people go to either a nude beach or a strip club. People laugh @ that all the time. Don't get me wrong I think this is very funny and disturbing. here is a funny quote

"Don't be stupid puts some clothes on! Have some self respect, MAN!"

Sigh... RepublicanChick18 writes a typical REPUBLICAN reaction...

The photo is obviously a LIBERAL Statement about Global Warming, so she hops onto the Offended Persons Bandwagon, then attempts to make fun of the whole thing by play-asking if this was ALL 'anyone could find to report about'. Yeah, like the entire site was dedicated to coverage (pardon the pun) of this one photo...

Hint: It's the JUXTAPOSITION of the nude humans and the glacier that yields the humor here! Could it have been done differently? Probably... but this is as valid as a different 'photo statement' could be.

Any other day a Republican like this would be complaining that the news never shows us good, humorous, or happy things. THAT'S their programmed response when disturbing, factual news comes in that they cannot immediately refute.

I wouldn't normally react with a comment like this -- especially with the wholehearted prejudices* intact, but I've heard SO much of this type mentality from Conservatives lately... It makes me sad and afraid to see children -- our next generation -- around this attitude so much. Republicans HAVE to say something bad about EVERYTHING they see that has to do with Environmental protection. I'm sick of it.

*About my prejudices in this area: I struggle with these prejudices, but they have developed in response to the way the Republican/Conservative mindset has turned over past decades. I wholeheartedly challenge Republicans everywhere to show an OPEN MIND toward the information we get on issues of the day. I don't want to cringe every time I hear a Republican speak! I try not to but I'm finding that they CONSTANTLY re-enforce my suspicions darn near 100% of the time.

I am actually for stoping global warming. I said what I said because couldn't the author put the news any differently? Come on. If i am going to read the news I do not want to see a whole bunch of nude people on a glacier. I am sorry if you cringe when Republicans speak. I do have an open mind. Here is a question for you or any liberal who reads this. Why is in not ok for us (Conservatives) to complain about news but it is ok for Liberals to complain about something that they could have provented?

I wholeheartedly challenge Republicans everywhere to show an OPEN MIND toward the information we get on issues of the day.

Well I would actually like to see a Liberal do that same exact thing. Conservatives do not have something bad to say about everything. I could say that about all Liberals.

That wouldn't be you Robert would it ?

I'm kinda wondering what everyone was looking at ? To bad they did not publish the Lat/Long. that might have been fun to see if you might have been able to get a live Google Earth or Virtual Earth Shot.

A whole lot of cold butts after that photoshoot !
