Abstract
This paper takes place at the intersection of climate policy, public opinion and the ‘just transition’ debate. Its central hypothesis is: the inclusion of fairness measures in the green economy transition – especially by targeting workers in the most affected sectors – will have a positive impact on the social acceptability of climate policy. This paper focuses on two key policies: carbon pricing and a fossil fuel phase-out. A set of survey questions compare social support for these two policies (i) without and (ii) with accompanying fairness provisions, such as green jobs creation and support for workers. This paper uses an exclusive survey (n = 1,500) conducted in Canada in 2022. From the data, we observed that fairness provisions increase the support both for a higher price on carbon and for a decrease in the production of oil and gas, which was especially salient for groups initially less concerned by climate change.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
