Show abstract

Over the last decade, health impact attribution studies have shown that climate change is a present-day public health emergency, with substantial impacts felt through death, disability, and illness, equivalent to financial losses on the order of US$ trillions. However, these studies have so far been biased towards the direct effects of heat and extreme weather in high-income countries, and so capture a small fraction of the total global burden of climate change. Expanding the use of attribution science in public health could help put pressure on policymakers to take action for human health.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
