Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Climate change is the most significant global challenge facing humanity. Despite the unequivocal scientific evidence and the overwhelming adverse impacts of climate change, there is a growing divide in the beliefs on the anthropogenic causes of climate change. To explore the underlying cognitive mechanisms of this divide, we review recent studies revealing a number of attentional and perceptual biases that can give rise to the divergent opinions on climate change. With these cognitive insights in mind, we discuss several communication approaches (e.g., framing, visualization) that have the potential to mitigate the attentional and perceptual biases, with the broader goal of minimizing polarizing views and promoting actions to address climate change.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
