Welcome to CARDS
CARDS is a research project into detecting and categorising misinformation about climate change. CARDS stands for Computer Assisted Recognition of Denial and Skepticism. We use supervised machine learning to detect claims used to cast doubt on climate science and solutions.
The research is conducted by scientists Travis Coan and Mirjam Nanko from Exeter University, Constantine Boussalis from Trinity College Dublin, and John Cook from Monash University. The initial training of the machine was conducted by the Skeptical Science community.
The following video features an in-depth introduction to the CARDS taxonomy and an explanation of the landscape of climate misinformation.
