In this article, we provide a preliminary exploration of the Climate Change Counter Movement Hyperlink Network. Recognising the international growth of the Climate Change Counter Movement, we use a hyperlink analysis to 1) identify if the counter movement uses this platform, 2) identify the structural dynamics of the hyperlink network, and 3) if and how do movement organisations connect across countries. Our findings reveal that a combination of USA and non-USA actors are operational in the hyperlink network, where climate delaying and obstruction discourse can diffuse across countries. In addition, we found cohesive subgroups illuminating an alignment of interests between think tanks across countries on climate change, a distinct role played by blogs, and a small group of connected coal-related organisations promoting information on clean coal technologies. Lastly, we observe an alignment between climate change counter movement organisations and representative organisations of the traditional Wise Use Movement. These findings provide an intriguing account of the operations of a counter movement hyperlink network, expanding our knowledge on the transmission of counter movement across countries and what this means for further developments in this area of scholarship.

阻挠、拖延和跨国主义:审查在线气候变化反运动

在本文中,我们对气候变化反运动超链接网络进行了初步探索。认识到气候变化反击运动的国际增长,我们使用超链接分析来 1) 确定反击运动是否使用该平台,2) 确定超链接网络的结构动态,以及 3) 运动组织是否以及如何连接国家。我们的研究结果表明,美国和非美国行为者的组合在超链接网络中运作,在那里气候延迟和阻碍的话语可以在国家间传播。此外,我们发现有凝聚力的小组阐明了各国智库之间在气候变化方面的利益一致,博客发挥了独特的作用,以及一小群与煤炭相关的组织,宣传清洁煤技术的信息。最后,我们观察到气候变化反运动组织与传统明智使用运动的代表组织之间的一致性。这些发现为反运动超链接网络的运作提供了一个有趣的解释,扩大了我们对跨国家反运动传播的认识,以及这对这一学术领域的进一步发展意味着什么。
