This project examines how account-level features on X/Twitter impact the spread of climate misinformation during the 2024 U.S. election week. It analyzes if attributes like follower count, verification status, and engagement activity predict the diffusion of climate misinformation. We share the results of our investigation on how misinformation moved through the platform during a surge of activity from the political movement and to recommend improvements for the platform's governance and communication strategies.
