本文以美国关于气候变化的讨论为例，分析了气候变化怀疑论者在网络交流中如何利用专家和科学证据的研究问题。两种不同的策略区分：合法化和批评。本研究对在线文档进行了定量内容分析，以回答研究问题。研究结果表明，推理策略是气候变化怀疑论者沟通的重要组成部分，他们更常用的批评策略比合法化策略。结果进一步区分不同类型的演员和各类专家。
This study, using the discussion about climate change in the USA as an example, analyzes the research question of how climate change skeptics use experts and scientific evidence in their online communication. Two different strategies are distinguished: legitimation and criticism. The study conducts a quantitative content analysis of online documents to answer the research question. The results show that the deduced strategies are an important part of the communication of climate change skeptics, who more commonly use the criticism strategy than the legitimation strategy. Results are further differentiated for different actor types and various types of experts.
