Increased precipitation can also make violent conflict more likely in certain settings, by allowing rebels to live off the land, triggering targeting of rich agricultural areas by state forces, or allowing cattle raiders to hide.
“First, increased precipitation can also make violent conflict more likely in certain settings. It allows rebels to live off the land and feed their fighters (Schon et al 2023b), can trigger the targeting of rich agricultural areas by state forces (Selby and Hoffmann 2014, Koren and Schon 2023), or allow cattle raiders to hide in dense vegetation while their tracks are washed away (Adano et al 2012”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
