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

  • The potential for solar geoengineering to moderate some of the most catastrophic hazards of climate change is well-established.

    “However, the potential for solar geoengineering to moderate some of the most catastrophic hazards of climate change is well-established [374], and it has received increasing attention in the wake of societal inaction on mitigation.”

    From Tackling climate change with machine learning (2023) · cites this paper as [374]

  • Solar geoengineering could be a moderating force against the uncertainties climate change already introduces.

    “However, although it creates new risks, solar geoengineering could actually be a moderating force against the terrifying uncertainties climate change already introduces [374,509]”

    From Tackling climate change with machine learning (2023) · cites this paper as [374]

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.
