Our 2015 Nature Climate Change article looked at interviews with
Climate Policy Elite in the United States and asked about their
sources of ‘expert scientific information.’ With that data we
showed that echo chambers surrounding relevant policy
instruments were significantly represented over and above the
more basic structural components of homophily (the echo) and
transitivity (the chamber). This analysis was hampered by the
static nature of the collection – we could not determine whether
echo chambers were formed by changing opinions on policy or tie
formation and dissolution. Our new data repeated the same survey
but with a new body of political elite in the fall of 2016
before the election of Donald Trump and a repeated survey in the
spring of 2017. With these new data we are able both to comment
on this tumultuous time in American politics and evaluate
temporal change in echo chambers.</span></p>
