Book Review: Climate Change and Displacement: Multidisciplinary Perspectives, by Jane McAdam (ed)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
IN THE EARTH'S CLIMATE, which has warmed nearly 0.8C over the past century,' have had catastrophic effects on physical, biological, and social systems.Vulnerable human populations around the world now face grave threats, including dangerous sea levels, extreme desertification, and increasingly severe tropical storms.The result is a new category of displaced persons: the climate change migrant.In Climate Change and Displacement: Multidisciplinary Perspectives, Jane McAdam, an expert in international refugee law, human rights law, climateinduced migration, and statelessness, brings together scholars from various disciplines to address the issue of climate change displacement.This book offers an ambitious and uniquely comprehensive perspective on climate-induced displacement, incorporating diverse fields such as geography, sociology, law, political economics, moral philosophy, public health, medical anthropology, epidemiology, international relations, and psychology.McAdam's multidisciplinary compilation is a much-needed contribution to the study of climate change adaptation.To date, the majority of policy discussions have focused on climate change mitigation-the vitally important response of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.'There

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
