  The data collection process involved extracting comments from the top posts in selected subreddits, including "Climate," "Energy," "RenewableEnergy”, “ClimateChange”, “ClimateActionPlan”, “Environment”, “Sustainability”, and “Zerowaste”, using the Reddit API. The PRAW Python library was utilized for interacting with the Reddit API. Specifically, the top ~1000 posts were considered in each subreddit, with comments and replies collected under each post. The data collection was performed on Feburary 21st and 22nd, 2024 with code in [reddit_data_collection.py](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cathw/reddit_climate_comment/blob/main/reddit_data_collection.py).
