However, the framing in Gebrechorkos et al. presents this as new, but conclusions are nearly identical. Is this a problem? Maybe yes, maybe no? But given that @nature.com always claims novelty, this should be at least discussed.

Both Chen et al. (Science, 01.2025) and Gebrechorkos et al. (Nature, 06.2025) report similar trends, e.g. that droughts are intensifying globally, driven by warming, and affecting larger areas.

Supprisingly, no citation of Chen et al. 2025. While this might be a simple oversight, but when conclusions and methods overlap this much in an @nature.com article, such silence risks misleading readers about what’s truly novel.
