![X/Twitter
Since December 2022, #ClimateScam has outperformed both #ClimateCrisis and #ClimateEmergency every month on X (formerly Twitter), regardless of whether you measure by retweets or likes. A particularly wide gap between the hashtags emerged in April 2023 and persisted through August 2023, from which point they began to converge. However, #ClimateScam has remained on average more popular across the analysed period.
