Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There is widespread confusion about the connection between COVID-19 and the larger problem of climate change. This article investigates the connection between the pandemic and climate crises in three ways. First, it examines how impactful emission reductions inspired by COVID-19 have helped prevent future climate catastrophe. Second, it shows why this pandemic is not a climate emergency at all but a routine feature of history. However, the article insists that these crises are connected by the anthropogenic influence of capitalism. Third, it examines ways that the pandemic has shifted beliefs that could be harnessed to help prevent the worst impacts of climate catastrophe, which remains the biggest problem to ever face life on earth.

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.
