#ClimateChange and #ClimateAction in Social Networks: Hashtag Analysis on Twitter

Climate change and its related problems are responsible for at least 150,000 deaths each year worldwide. Environmental changes have already been observed because of global climate change. Over the past few decades, there have been several changes. The glaciers have shrunk, the ice on rivers and lakes has melted earlier, the animal ranges have shifted, and most trees are beginning to flower earlier and earlier. Global warming and its impacts on the Earth's weather patterns are considered part of contemporary climate change. Continuous human influences are deviations from equilibrium; therefore, health problems from climate change are likewise a significant worry.

Several examples include the loss of sea ice, increased sea levels, and longer, more intense heat waves that scientists predicted would occur in the past.

Hashtags may have started on Twitter, but they are now found on almost every social networking platform. They're convenient for structuring information and grouping similar entries on related topics. Brands also design personalized hashtags to represent themselves, and some even urge users to use different hashtags for different marketing campaigns.

This book provides a significant guideline and report of Twitter data analyzing for #ClimateChange and #ClimateAction hashtags.
