Frequent pro-climate messaging does not predict pro-climate voting by United States legislators

Tweets are not a good way to judge elected leader's climate actions: the frequency with which Congresspeople tweet on climate is only weakly linked to their constituents’ opinions, and not linked to their climate voting record at all. In an analysis of US members of Congress over the 6 months prior to the 2020 election, constituent support for Congressional climate action was only weakly related to the rate of pro-climate tweeting by legislators. Increased pro-climate tweeting was not a significant predictor of pro-climate voting (when controlling for party affiliation and constituent support for climate action).
