These are all rough estimates, especially when trying to estimate the numbers of people who actually watched something for awhile as opposed to bounced, but yes, our numbers match quite nicely. Reply: In the Alexa graph I used, looks like it hit just above 0.05% for that day.

Actually, most of the people who spent some research by watching this stuff were people like us, skeptics who view it as a professional duty of a sort.Д«ecause both alarmists and skeptics agreed that this Gore event would harm the climate alarmism case, the event was promoted on skeptical blogs like ours вЂ“ because we wanted its impact to be larger рџ™‚ вЂ“ while the alarmist blogs remained nearly silent about it because they wanted to minimize the impact. I agree itвЂ™s almost implausible that more than 20,000 people in the world were watching the boring show for more than a few minutes. So he either counted each unique visitor about 50 times or the whole figure is fabricated. 30 times 4679 is about 130,000 unique visitors to the Climate Reality Project website on the very Climate Parody Day. Gore got 0.04% of the Internet traffic on its peak day which is 30 times more than The Reference Frame. On Sept 15th, my blog got 4,679 unique IP visitors in 24 hours,ДЄlexa translates it to 0.0013% of the Internet traffic. Alexa seems to disagree even with the basic Gore figure. Reply: QuestionвЂ“did you get to the Ustream via the page, thereby counting as a short term visitor, or was there a way that bypassed the stats I used? ~ ctm That will be several hours of my life I will never get back. If this project was suppose to train the alarmist to win a conversation, then the project was a complete failure.ДЄnyone that stuck around while I was around, would have been embarassed for these fools. It had to have been my presence that forced some of the alarmists out of bed, because after about a half hour of me in that chat room, that the rooms started to fill up with sober respondents and the name calling, ad -hominum, and jeering began to take its toll on me. Not any different than any other chat room.

When I showed up, which was about 4-6 hours into the project, it was mostly drunken jibberish and guys talking about girls. Maybe some of the segments were live, but they continued to show the same feeds over and over. I plugged in and became the token shill for about 3 hours. Or maybe, just maybe, thereвЂ™s a little bit of storytelling going on and perhaps the numbers are a wee bit inflated. Maybe all the users took the alternate path of going directly to Ustream. Can anyone confirm? Maybe it showed up in Facebook friendsвЂ™ newsfeeds and that was enough for Gore and company to call it a view, even if it was never played.

I didnвЂ™t install the Facebook ap so I donвЂ™t know if it did that. Now, maybe IвЂ™m totally wrong, maybe the Facebook application put this presentation in peoplesвЂ™ newsfeeds and they watched inside of Facebook. That means there may have been about 17,000 dedicated viewers (estimating on the high side) of the program worldwide. LetвЂ™s be generous with this as well and say that 1 in 10 stayed around to watch a significant amount of the program. The distribution can vary, maybe some stayed for for 5 minutes or 10, but it doesnвЂ™t look good. So for everyone who stayed for an hour there were maybe 30 or so who left after a minute which is normal for boring video. The average time on site for is about 3 minutes on. Now going back to Alexa, here is the fun statistic. Unfortunately, the doesnвЂ™t show up in quantcast, for, so we will have to estimate.Д«eing generous with the Alexa rank reach ratio between sites, letвЂ™s multiply 27.9 thousand times 6, which gives us about 167,000 global visitors for Al GoreвЂ™s big party on On according to quantcast, had 27.9 thousand global visitors. LetвЂ™s convert AlexaвЂ™s traffic rank reach to numbers of people. Alexa traffic rankД®yeballing, it appears that on, had between 5 and 6 times as much traffic as. LetвЂ™s look at the Alexa stats for traffic rank reach on that day and compare it to a site we have access to more detailed information. On Facebook, they had around 66,000 people вЂњacceptingвЂќ the invitation to attend. Al GoreвЂ™s Climate Reality Project claims 8.6 million views of their presentations during their вЂњ24 hours of realityвЂќ.
