Unequal impacts of rising temperatures on global human sentiment
Climate change poses growing risks to human well-being, yet research on its emotional impact has primarily focused on developed nations, obscuring potential global inequalities in psychological vulnerability. Here, we analyze over 1.2 billion social media posts from 157 countries to reveal how rising temperatures affect human sentiment worldwide and project future impacts under climate scenarios. We find a non-linear relationship where moderate w…

Rising temperatures erode human sleep globally
Global evidence of expressed sentiment alterations during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented burdens on people's physical health and subjective well-being. While countries worldwide have developed platforms to track the evolution of COVID-19 infections and deaths, frequent global measurements of affective states to gauge the emotional impacts of pandemic and related policy interventions remain scarce. Using 654 million geotagged social media posts in over 100 countries, covering 74% of worl…

Characterizing Self-Reported Tobacco, Vaping, and Marijuana-Related Tweets Geolocated for California College Campuses
Introduction: College-aged youth are active on social media yet smoking-related social media engagement in these populations has not been thoroughly investigated. We sought to conduct an exploratory infoveillance study focused on geolocated data to characterize smoking-related tweets originating from California 4-year colleges on Twitter. Methods: Tweets from 2015 to 2019 with geospatial coordinates in CA college campuses containing smoking-relat…

A 43-Million-Person Investigation into Weather and Expressed Sentiment in a Changing Climate
Climatic Stress, Internal Migration, and Syrian Civil War Onset
Syria recently suffered a once in 500-year meteorological drought followed by one of the worst conflicts of the twenty-first century. We exploit subnational variation in drought impact to examine associations between climatic stress and Syria’s political unrest. Climatic stress may produce instability through both immediate hardship and, indirectly, internal migration. Consistent with the internal migration hypothesis, we find less severely droug…

Empirical evidence of mental health risks posed by climate change
Significance Wellbeing falters without sound mental health. Scholars have recently indicated that the impacts of climate change are likely to undermine mental health through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms. Using daily meteorological data coupled with information from nearly 2 million randomly sampled US residents across a decade of data collection, we find that experience with hotter temperatures and added precipitation each worsen m…
Nighttime temperature and human sleep loss in a changing climate
Analysis of reported sleep difficulties indicates that increases in nighttime temperatures reduce human sleep quality.
Climate change may alter human physical activity patterns
Rapid assessment of disaster damage using social media activity
Researchers show a correlation between per-capita social media activity and disaster damage, facilitating its rapid assessment.
