“Even if the increased heating from global warming does not directly cause increases in drought frequency, hotter conditions will result in droughts intensifying more quickly once they do occur and generally being more severe—the essence of ‘‘hotter drought’’ (Trenberth et al. 2014).”

“…more common under climate change ( 25 ), which together with an increased atmospheric demand for water associated with global warming might exacerbate the impact of El Niño events over semi-arid ecosystems and further increase the role of semi-arid regions in driving global NBP IAV ( 26-28 ).”

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.
