Not a good idea because the public knows jack shit about any given topic, and also any system like this will be gamed. I think the state of journalism is terrible too, but the reason is 80% business model, 20% culture.https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/999367582271422464 …
so every story would be about nuclear weapons non-proliferation policy then?

and global climate change too I guess
-
both of these would be relatively small impact in this scheme, IMO, considering they're "not much impact right now but maybe a lot later" type deals
-
those are issues that effect every person alive now (and every unborn person in the future forever) where the worst case scenario (i.e. the maximum possible impact) is total annihilation of human civilization.
-
Most people outside of active hurricane zones don't feel like their lives are impacted by climate change on a day-to-day basis. And most people definitely wouldn't be thinking about nuclear proliferation, especially considering there's almost nothing they can do about it.

they can stop voting for war pigs!
