Climate Roundup:  What is in a hashtag?? media dominantes "climate" but NGOs dominate #climatechange

The above chart compares who posted the most popular tweet each day from 1 May-2 June 2014--comparing #climatechange to the non-hashtagged "climate."   There are clear differences in who dominates:  NGOs dominate #climatechange and the mainstream media dominates the more general "climate" term.  Government representatives also led much of the general "climate" posts, with President Barack Obama posting the most popular tweet on 6 days.  For #climatechange, however, personalities were the second most popular. See my June 3rd post for a comparison of twitter traffic during the same time period.
