Climate Bias

This project explores American confirmation bias in climate change by analyzing the relationship between temperature, Twitter activity, and state political affiliation. I initially expected there to be an increase in twitter content (related to climate change) in Republican-leaning states in cold weather and a decrease during warm weather.

Data

  • Twitter Data came from Professor Izbicki at Claremont McKenna College
  • Weather data came from NOAA
  • State political affilication data came from Kaggle
