  • Deforestation has been forecasted to lead to lower rainfall in the Amazon.

    “Deforestation has been forecasted to lead to lower rainfall in the Amazon (Salazar et al 2015)”

    From The impact of deforestation on rainfall in Africa: a data-driven assessment (2021) · cites this paper as Salazar et al 2015

    Section 3.2.2.2 (page unavailable) reports modeled drying in the Amazon–Cerrado transition zone when the cumulative influence of Amazon deforestation is considered. It does not establish the more specific claim that deforestation was forecast to lower rainfall within the Amazon itself. (LLM, conf=0.83)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Deforestation affects rainfall.

    “It is clear that deforestation affects rainfall (e.g.McAlpine et al 2009, McAlpine et al 2018, Salazar et al 2015).”

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.
