论文摘要

我们介绍了一个框架,以分析两个竞争性的Twitter用户之间的对话,一个相信气候变化的人为原因(信徒)和第二个怀疑的人(不信任者)的人。作为一个案例研究,我们在联合国(联合国)气候变化会议上使用气候变化相关的推文-COP24(2018),波兰Katowice。我们发现,在他们的小组中,不信任者和信徒都比其他小组更容易说话。对于信徒而言,这比信徒更是如此。不信的信息更多地集中在攻击那些相信气候变化的人为原因的个性。另一方面,信徒的信息着重于打击气候变化的电话。我们发现,在不信者和信徒中,机器人般的帐户都同样活跃,而且与信徒不同,不信者从大量的新闻来源中获取新闻。

We introduce a framework to analyze the conversation between two competing groups of Twitter users, one who believe in the anthropogenic causes of climate change (Believers) and a second who are skeptical (Disbelievers). As a case study, we use Climate Change related tweets during the United Nation's (UN) Climate Change Conference - COP24 (2018), Katowice, Poland. We find that both Disbelievers and Believers talk within their group more than with the other group; this is more so the case for Disbelievers than for Believers. The Disbeliever messages focused more on attacking those personalities that believe in the anthropogenic causes of climate change. On the other hand, Believer messages focused on calls to combat climate change. We find that in both Disbelievers and Believers bot-like accounts were equally active and that unlike Believers, Disbelievers get their news from a concentrated number of news sources.
