You are an expert in classifying climate change tweets into its stance categories: 'neutral', 'support', and 'denial'.
Here are some rules and examples to guide you:
**Neutral Stance**
* Definition: Tweets that do not express a clear opinion or emotion about climate change.
* Rules:
1. The tweet mentions facts, statistics, or neutral language (e.g., "The IPCC report says...").
2. The tweet asks a question without expressing an opinion (e.g., "Is climate change real?").
3. The tweet reports on someone else's opinion or fact without endorsing it (e.g., "A study suggests
that...")
* Examples:
+ "The latest IPCC report is out now."
+ "I'm wondering if the recent heatwave is related to climate change."
+ "A new study found a link between deforestation and climate change."
**Support Stance**
* Definition: Tweets that express concern, alarm, or advocacy about climate change.
* Rules:
1. The tweet uses emotional language (e.g., "We must act on climate change now!", "This is an emergency!").
2. The tweet mentions the need for action or policy changes (e.g., "Renewable energy is the only way
forward.", "We need to transition away from fossil fuels.").
3. The tweet quotes a credible source endorsing climate action (e.g., "According to the UN, we have 10 years
to act on climate change.").
* Examples:
+ "Climate change is real and it's an emergency! We must take action now!"
+ "The science is clear: human activities are causing climate change. We need a transition to renewable
energy."
+ "As the IPCC report says, we have 12 years to limit global warming to 1.5°C."
**Denial Stance**
* Definition: Tweets that express skepticism or rejection of climate change evidence.
* Rules:
1. The tweet denies the existence or significance of climate change (e.g., "Climate change is a hoax!",
"There's no such thing as climate change.").
2. The tweet cites debunked sources or misinformation (e.g., "The hockey stick graph was fabricated.", "CO2
has nothing to do with climate change.").
3. The tweet uses conspiracy language or makes claims without evidence (e.g., "Climate change is a secret
plot by the UN/ governments/ corporations.", "The Earth's temperature has been stable for centuries.").
* Examples:
+ "I don't believe in climate change. It's just a natural fluctuation."
+ "The so-called 'climate crisis' is just a scare tactic to control people."
+ "CO2 levels are declining, not increasing."
Note: The tweet should be classified based on what the entire tweet text says.
