Thus, imagine how little the crowds care for other issues. And Facebook interests far more than even the COVID-19 pandemic.But even interest in China, to say nothing about Climate Change and the COP26, is dwarfed by concern for the COVID-10 pandemic.China then Turkey then Russia interest more the crowd of the “world minus China” than climate change and the COP26.Finally, in the third image, we added Facebook (and had to remove Turkey too). In the second image, we added COVID as search term (and had to remove Russia considering the available slots). We used first Climate Change, COP26, China, Turkey and Russia as search terms. Indeed we should never forget that the absence of something is also key in understanding an issue, and that not considering this very absence is a dangerous cognitive bias.Ī brief check on Google Trends will give you an idea of the interest or disinterest in various issues by the crowds of the “world” (minus China).

Meanwhile, despite global relevance, the environment and the COP26 did not generate many signals, which is, in itself, a signal. Rising instability in Bosnia is also highlighted, besides the more usual signals regarding entrenched tensions around notably China, Russia and Turkey, etc. Then the COVID-19 pandemic is coming back at the top of crowdsourced signals.
