142
- The source data for this dataset comprises comments contributed by Reddit users participating in discussions on climate change, energy, and renewable energy topics within designated subreddits. These subreddits include "Climate," "Energy," "RenewableEnergy", and “ClimateChange”. The comments were extracted from the top posts within these subreddits using the Reddit API.

  #### Data Collection and Processing
145
 
146
- The data collection process involved extracting comments from the top posts in selected subreddits, including "Climate," "Energy," "RenewableEnergy", and “ClimateChange”, 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 January 31st, 2024 with code in [reddit_data_collection.py](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cathw/reddit_climate_comment/blob/main/reddit_data_collection.py).

- 2. Duplicate and Empty Cell Removal: check for and remove duplicate and empty cells to ensure dataset integrity and cleaness.
152
- 3. Updated Data Organization: to enhance the structure and organization of the dataset, under the same subreddit community, we group comments under the same post title, identified by a unique post ID. Each post ID serves as an identification number, and all relevant information, including comment ID, author, comment bodies, timestamps, upvotes, and number of replies, is grouped together within this array-like structure.
