Since I had such a large sample (nearly a hundred), I analyzed X comments by category. 47% said climate wasn't changing, I was lying, ignorant, or not really a scientist 15% said I was in it for the $ 14% were insults Content warning: Please don't read the fine print if you're sensitive.

I already invite people on X to join us here weekly. But thanks to this analysis, I've decided to re-create my "scientists who do climate" list here this summer, and manually invite each of the 3,000 members on X to join us. If you're still on X, pls consider inviting your followers to join us too!

This is an extremely valuable experiment, Kath. I wonder if it's possible to determine what fraction of Twitter posters are ingenuine accounts with more follow-up. It would be a useful fact to know. 🙏✌️

To the "47% [who] said climate wasn't changing, [and that you were] lying, ignorant, or not really a scientist," I hope a hurricane slams right up their asses!

The Kathy Lee Gifford of climate? I don’t even know what that’s supposed to be insulting.

It's so hard to understand how people can think this way, (waves hand at Beryl and 130 degree temperatures.)

This is horrifying. I’m sorry for the mistreatment you get on that platform. Thank you for the work that you do trying to get others to leave and/or come over.

Really appreciate this deep dive into coding the responses. Thanks for the analysis. And, naturally, sorry about all those icky folks on Twitter.
