Motivated by the fact that the majority of news outlets in Africa have not sufficiently covered climate change issues, we innovatively construct a news-based index, drawing from the big data archive of Google Trends, as a proxy for publicity in the predictability of climate change. We show that increasing publicity about climate change has the potential to cause emission reduction and slow climate change.
