In the citing paper
“Hence for pure clear-sky CO 2 -H 2 O atmospheres under early Martian conditions, modern radiativeconvective models obtain mean surface temperatures of 225 K or less (Wordsworth, Forget & Eymet 2010; Ramirez et al. 2014; Halevy & Head 2014).”

“In a thought-provoking paper, Ramirez et al. (2014) proposed www.annualreviews.org • The Climate of Early Mars 9 that CO2-H2 absorption could have caused warming on early Mars in a similar fashion, perhaps sufficiently to put the climate into a warm and wet state.”

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.
