This study aims to explore social bots\' role in online climate change discussions.By analyzing 491,279 climate-change-related tweets,we found that social bots were actively engaged in climate change discussions on Twitter and contributed up to 1.5.4％ of related contents.Bots promote the saliency of energy,climate actions and climate strikes on public agenda.83.1％ of tweets posted by social bots support climate change activism,and 16.9％ support climate change skepticism.However,social bot skeptics are more strategical than social bot activists in terms of launching conversations with opposing-minded humans,and avoiding amplification of opposing voices.They are also more successful in inciting opposing-minded humans\' initiative conversation and like-minded humans\' amplification.Based on the above findings,we suggest cultivating individuals\' media literacy in terms of distinguishing malicious social bots as a potential solution to deal with social bot skeptics disguised as humans,as well as making use of benign social bots for science popularization.

Geological carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization and storage have been widely recognized as one of the important options to deliver greenhouse gas emissions reduction.Reasonable planning is critical to promote CO2 utilization and storage.However,CO2 emissions
China has pledged to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and neutralize emissions by 2060.There is an urgent need to develop a comprehensive and reliable methodology to judge whether a region has reached its carbon emissions peak (CEP),as well as to schedule an
To evaluate direct greenhouse gas emissions from Membrane Biological Reactor (MBR),measurements of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane(CH4) were made at a pilot-scale MBR treating municipal wastewater Measurements were conducted during two campaigns with some
The Intraseasonal Oscillation (ISO) is the cornerstone for 2-8-week subseasonal prediction.Understanding the decadal variation of the ISO is important for improving subseasonal prediction;however,there is still a gap in our knowledge of ISO dynamics.Here,
With increasing global wanning,the skiing season is shortened to different degrees all over the world.As a crucial way to ensure the sustainable development of the ski industry,snow storage has been gradually studied and applied in Europe.Covering thermal
As an important component of cryospheric provisioning services,freshwater provisioning services of the cryosphere is particularly critical to human well-being and socio-economic sustainability.It is imperative to quantitatively estimate the value of fresh
The evaluation of the efficiency and feasibility of energy transition and air pollution control at the city level is one of the key points in addressing environmental problems and achieving the goals of CO2 emission reduction and carbon neutrality in Chin
Climate extremes pose severe threats to human health,economic stability and environmental sustainability,especially in densely populated areas.It is generally believed that global warming drives increase in frequency,intensity and duration of climate extr
本研究实验以Zn、Cd作对照,探究在单一重金属溶液中商陆生物炭对Pb离子吸附效果与溶液初始浓度、溶液pH值、吸附剂投加量的相关性,以及在复合重金属溶液中商陆生物炭对Pb离子吸附效果与吸附温度、吸附时间的相关性.本研究用Langmuir等温模型、准一级热动力学模、准二级热动力学模型,分别拟合在复合重金属溶液中商陆生物炭对Zn、Cd、Pb离子吸附优势与吸附温度、吸附时间的关系,研究发现:用Langmuir等温模型、准二级热动力学模型拟合商陆生物炭在复合重金属溶液中对Zn、Cd、Pb的吸附量可信度更高;在单一重
PM2.5 concentrations in Wuhan,China decreased by 36.0％ between the period prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (1-23 January,2020) and the COVID-lockdown period (24 January to 29 February,2020).However,decreases in PM2.5 concentration due to regional PM2.5 tran
