Stats Analysis of the Week Past
Background
On Aug. 2, 2022, ChessTalk initiated a new forum called “The Non-Chess Forum”. Our “Climate Change” thread, and one on COVID-19, were then moved out of the “Open Forum”, which is the homepage by default, and into this new forum. Henry has apparently undertaken to change the homepage to indicate that this now third forum exists (Though it has not yet been carried out).
The Result
Many chessplayers looking for chess content, would, on the old “open” homepage, sometime see “non-chess” posts, decide they were a bit interested, and take a look. This is the way our viewers number grew.
I had some concern that this change might diminish the growth of our chessplayer viewers.
But, encouragingly, not only has activity continued apace in the new dedicated forum, it has gone UP!! It seems those chessplayers concerned about climate change have made the effort, to do the added number of clicks, to get to us. It shows that chessplayers do wish to talk to each other, within their own family, on non-chess life issues. We may even, over time, see the number of threads in this forum increase to include other life issues – is anyone going to be daring enough to start one on “Spirituality/Religions”, or, “Current Global Politics”??
Analysis of Last Weeks Stats
Activity last week was a bit ahead of our first week on the “Non-chess Forum”.
Activity is clearly dependent on new responses being posted, and last week there were 8 responses per day, compared to 6 per day the prior week!
Accordingly the views last week, 75 per day, were a bit ahead of the prior week stats (71)
We have started a new set of stats from the day we were placed in this new forum, and these now will become our 2022 yearly stats.
The yearly average that had previously existed in the “Open” forum (45 per day) is lower than the new yearly average for the new forum since activity seems to have actually gone up since we got moved!
So, the climate change issue among ChessTalker's is continuing to grab attention, even after being moved to the new “Non-Chess” Forum.
Climate Change Responses
There are lots of climate change articles out there.
This thread encourages CT'ers to re-post responses here when they see climate change posts of interest elsewhere.
I personally, as the thread originator, am shooting to post a new response at least every 2nd day, but am sometimes even falling short on this, depending on the amount of time I have to be on-line, which is limited.
The Pressing Climate Change Issue
The core issue:
Building a sense of URGENCY on this issue in society. We must realize that we cannot kick it down the road any longer!
The public is aware of the climate change issue.......
BUT.....
climate activists must find strategies to “AWAKEN” the public to the “urgency”.
The Time Line
Nature's Tipping point is estimated to be, on current trajectory, only 9 years away (Around Jan. 1, 2031). Capping the temperature rise at only 1.5 degrees Celsius is now impossible (UN Climate Change Panel's most recent report). UNCCP noted that current government deadlines were totally insufficient to solve the problem. CO 2 must be capped by 2025! And for the first time, CO 2 “removal” has now become a necessary part of the solution, along with eliminating spewing of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere.
Our window of opportunity is fast closing.
The Large Picture Solutions
Can we come up with at least one or two viable suggestions of impressive, radical things that might wake up the public, that we could then put out there to other concerned client activists?
