It creates a visual way of seeing what the person/people creating the content talk about a lot.

It’s similar to the tag cloud Greg has on the sidebar: He tags many posts with things like “Climate Change” and “Charles Darwin” and comparatively few with “cats” and “diet”.

I’ve no idea what a word cloud is. Deniers of the evidence for human-caused climate change work hard to mask why the deny the evidence, citing bogus reasons and in my experience *NEVER* citing the actual reasons except by accident. In Usenet I have seen deniers accidentally admit they reject the evidence out of religious “my god(s) wouldn’t let it happen” beliefs, usually the Christian gods.
