New research from several leading climate scientists shows that warming-induced emissions—greenhouse gas emissions from natural sources driven by rising temperatures—could amplify global warming by approximately 20–30% and add an estimated 0.2–0.4°C of warming this century on top of anthropogenic warming under different scenarios. These feedbacks are largely unaccounted for in current climate models and policies.

Applied Microbiology International (AMI) has responded to the European Commission’s consultation on the proposed EU Ocean Act, highlighting the essential contribution of marine microorganisms to ocean health, climate regulation, biodiversity and the blue bioeconomy.

Efforts to prevent dementia may be placing too much responsibility on people’s choices while overlooking the wider social and environmental conditions that shape brain health, according to new Curtin University research published in The Lancet Public Health.

People in Vancouver experienced an increase in police drug seizures during the first year of British Columbia's drug decriminalization pilot project, according to a Simon Fraser University study.

During the pilot, police in B.C. were not meant to arrest or charge people for possessing drugs for personal consumption, a threshold defined as 2.5 grams. One of the goals of decriminalization was to reduce interaction between the police and people who use drugs, says Kanna Hayashi, co-author of the study. 

Rising sea levels and storm surges could cost $855 billion in economic losses across Australia by the end of the century, according to new Australian-first research.
