Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

One barrier to action on climate change is not talking about it. The majority of residents of the United States and Canada are concerned about climate change 1 , 2 but are reluctant to discuss it with family and friends 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 . Finding opportunities to promote conversation about climate change within existing social circles would help to increase the acceptability of climate actions 6 , 7 . In this study, 32 semi-structured interviews were held with representatives of nature-related organisations in Ontario, Canada, to ascertain how they perceive climate change. Most interviewees noticed local effects of climate change and were either Alarmed or Concerned about climate change, referencing Global Warming’s Six Americas 3 . Many worried about their chosen activity or their offspring. This suggests that nature lovers, who might distance themselves from the environmental movement 8 , could be amenable to discussing and acting on climate change. This article adds to the literature on laypeople’s understanding of climate change 9 , 10 , 11 .

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.
