Communicating Climate Change in Style 🌍🌎🌏
| Work in progress. This repo is based on a 48 h sciathon and therefore not perfect (yet) |
|---|
We want to help communicate relevant science on climate change as efficient as possible.
Check out short video on the project: 
If you are working on communicating climate change - let us know about your work, contribute your expertise to the project by commenting on the issues below
If you are a programmer - help us improve the tool. Contribute ideas by raising issues and commenting on the potential projects. Get to work on the implementation of important features.
If you have questions or suggestions on the project - reach out to us on twitter: @juzb,
If you want to jump right into it - check out our analysis notebook
We'd like to have a discussion about this and hear from you! Check out our issue Help us to figure out
- what are the most urgent messages to convey
- what is the scientific evidence
We'd like to have a discussion about this and hear from you! Check out our issue Help us to figure out
- who needs to hear the messages the most
- how the message should be conveyed to it reaches open ears
- Improve modularity and reliability of the code
- Add a distinction between climate change sceptic and climate change positive tweets
- Write comprehensive records to a restorable format (when a colab notebook dies, a lot of pgoress is lost otherwise)
We want to make using our tool as simple as possible. In fact, you can start right now in a colab notebook or locally: Though you will need keys to access the Twitter API - check their documentation here.
Just open this link to our analysis notebook in google colab.
You will have to overwrite the part where the keys are loaded and set them manually.
- clone this repository
- install conda
- create a conda environment with
tweepyinpython3:
conda create -n c3s --file conda-env.yml
conda activate c3s
- get credentials for the Twitter API
- run the notebook
This project started off with team Bisztray in the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings Online Sciathon 2020:
We are honored to have won the first prize in the sicathon's communicating climate change section amongst many great projects!
Many thanks to the fantastic team of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings for the organisation of the sciathon and the Online Science Days 2020.
