Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

One of the most notable collective responses to the scientific com munity's concerns about increases in global temperatures and climate variability was the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, which was aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels by 2012. Although the United States was not among the countries that ratified the treaty, a national greenhouse gas reduction policy is being seriously recon sidered by the current Obama administration. This article explores the efforts that several cities and states have made to reduce green house gas emissions and focuses on the larger effort under the Western Climate Initiative (WCI), which comprises U.S. and Mexican states and Canadian provinces.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
