野火和气候变化：社交媒体在联系和公众理解方面告诉我们什么？（白皮书初稿，2022年2月11日）
Wildfires and Climate Change: What does social media tell us on linkages and public understanding? (Preliminary White Paper, February 11, 2022)
摘要：
美国西部的野火发生频率和规模都在增加，在过去的几年里发生了一些有史以来最致命的火灾。公众以及民选官员使用社交媒体就影响其社区的主题传达意见和知识。我们利用Twitter平台来评估最近事件中野火与气候变化的联系，并评估公众与政府官员之间的知识差异。结果显示野火因果之间存在一定的联系，尽管这种关系并不大（仅5%），在政府层面甚至更低（2%），这表明更广泛的公众和政府并没有将气候变化与最近的极端野火联系起来。
英文摘要：
Wildfires are increasing in frequency and size across the western U.S., with some of the deadliest fires in recorded history occurring in the last few years. The public, as well as elected officials, use social media to convey opinions and knowledge on topics that are impacting their communities. We utilize the platform Twitter to assess connections of wildfire to climate change during recent events and evaluate the differences in knowledge between the public and their government officials. Results show some linkages of wildfire cause and effect, although this relationship was not large (only 5%) and was even lower at the governmental level (2%), suggesting that a broader number of the public and government did not relate climate change to recent extreme wildfires.
