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

[Jonathan Gray]

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
