This is a bounded reading note. It is not independent replication, a full systematic review or an endorsement of every conclusion in the paper.

Questions to take to the paper

  • Was allocation randomized, and was the analysis specified first?
  • What cloud and weather regime was eligible?
  • Is the claimed change a local event, a seasonal total or a model estimate?
Keep the evidence attached to its setting.
A simulation, chamber result, field observation and operational outcome answer different questions. Record the comparator, measured quantity and conditions before carrying a result into a design.
