- The Reddit Climate Comment dataset focuses on comments from subreddits intricately linked to discussions on climate change, energy, and specifically renewable energy. Utilizing the [Reddit API] (https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/), we extract insights from the top ~1000 posts in key subreddits, including "Climate," "Energy," "RenewableEnergy", and “ClimateChange”, providing a nuanced exploration of conversations surrounding these crucial environmental sustainability topics (code can be found in [reddit_data_collection.py](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cathw/reddit_climate_comment/blob/main/reddit_data_collection.py)).

  ### Dataset Description
22
 
 
 
 
23
  The dataset is centered around discussions related to clean energy and climate change, obtained through the Reddit API by extracting information from the top ~900 to ~1000 posts within specified subreddits and collected using a Python Library, Praw, on January 31th, 2024, code shown in Appendix. These subreddits include “Climate”, “Energy”, “RenewableEnergy”, and “ClimateChange”. The dataset collected 20 comments under each post. The selection of curated subreddit names is determined by assessing both the relevance of the subreddit to energy and climate change and the size of the subreddit community, measured by the number of Reddit users who have joined. In the dataset, under the “Climate” subreddit category, there are 14,003 comments (184k users in the community), while 10,465 comments under “ClimateChange” subreddit category (89k users in the community); “Energy” subreddit has 13,692 comments (181k users in the community), and the “RenewableEnergy” subreddit has 5,394 comments (124k users in the community). In total, there are 43,554 comments across all subreddit. During the data collection process, timestamps were converted from Unix timestamps (seconds since the epoch) in the raw data into a UTC datetime object.

  Our dataset includes information from ~20 comments under each of the top 1000 posts, providing a detailed lens into user engagement and sentiment within these subreddits. Subreddit names are curated with consideration for relevance to climate and energy topics, and the number of users in a community. This ensures a diverse representation of opinions and perspectives. While the primary emphasis is on clean energy discussions, the inclusion of "Energy", "Climate", and “ClimateChange” subreddits introduces valuable comparative dimensions. "Energy" provides insights into the broader energy landscape, while "climate" and “climatechange” reflect overarching perspectives and attitudes towards sustainability subjects. The dataset, thus, serves as a comprehensive repository for exploring nuanced discussions on Reddit surrounding climate, energy, and renewable energy topics.
