Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter begins with an overview of the first-generation climate leadership of Al Gore, James Hansen, and Bill McKibben, all of whom can be broadly characterized as propounding a “tragic” and “catastrophizing” discourse. It then analyzes in-depth interviews with 14 second-generation climate leaders from the US, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, Hungary, South Africa, Taiwan, and Australia, contextualized by recent academic research on this topic. This second generation of climate leaders offers a more “comic” discourse that acknowledges the tragic consequences of inaction but tends to avoid catastrophizing rhetoric, appealing to a sense of hope and possibility despite limited progress on this issue. The interviews lend credence to Simon Western’s conception of an emerging Eco-Leadership discourse (or paradigm), which is discussed in depth in Chapter 8. Narrative approaches to climate change leadership are discussed, along with a variety of pertinent research findings that illuminate the general contours of climate change leadership today.

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.
