Abstract

‘People’ are central both to populism, an ideology in which ‘people’ are pitted against corrupt elites, and to climate science and policy, which advocate ‘people-centred’ climate action. Our Brief Communication explores references to climate change and ‘people’ on Twitter (now X). Populist tropes (the people against corrupt elites) were not restricted to climate-sceptical tweets; they extended to tweets that recognised climate change was real but expressed mistrust about climate actions.
