[School-of-data] Social network analysis on climate change denial thinktanks?

Sun Mar 3 12:46:46 UTC 2013

Hi João,

It would be great if you'd be up for helping look into climate change
denial organisations on Twitter.

An overview of what we've been up to so far is here:

Probably the main thing to do first is to try to construct a list of
Twitter accounts of climate denial organisations and individuals that
receive funds from the Donors Trust. I've started one here:

http://bit.ly/climate-denial-orgs-twitter

I also asked Suzanne Goldenberg (the author of the Guardian article in
February [1]) to see if she had a complete list of all the organisations
that received funding [2].

All the best,

Jonathan
