This repository contains materials associated with a project which explores appeals to expertise by climate scientists in hearings before Congress. These materials include plain text files in UTF-7 and ASCII format of testimonies by individual scientists in hearings from 1985-2013 as well as meta-data about each of the hearings and scientific witnesses in the corpus.
Quick start
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("CMU-OSPO/E-thos_Project_Climate_Change", "e_thos_project__climate_change_analysis_results_wynn", split="train")
df = ds.to_pandas()
Other subsets load the same way; pass a name from the table below.
