Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Climate modeling is often an exercise in 'betting on the best case'.

    “Climate modeling is often an exercise in 'betting on the best case' (Geden, 2015; Jehn et al., 2021).”

    From A Fate Worse Than Warming? Stratospheric Aerosol Injection and Global Catastrophic Risk (2021) · cites this paper as Geden, 2015

    In POLITICAL WEATHER, Geden says mitigation scenarios are becoming more optimistic and less plausible, and describes models relying on unproven negative-emissions approaches. That supports the 'betting on the best case' characterization for mitigation modeling, but the claim extends it to climate modeling generally. (LLM, conf=0.83)

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.
