This work considers exceptionally active users on Twitter, the “big players,” and analyzes the correlation between the level of emotion these users express in communications tagged with the hashtag #globalwarming and the levels expressed by the Twitter community as a whole. Using an emotion lexicon incorporating four of the eight base human emotions according to Plutchik: anger, fear, sadness, and joy, we identify to what extent a small group of these big players may predict the emotion expressed by their online community in their tweets.
