New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct

Almost half of all dementia cases may be associated with modifiable factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. At the same time, some risk factors are built into our biology, such as age, sex, and genetics. But dementia is not a single disease, rather symptom of multiple underlying disorders. Therefore, risk factor profiles for various dementia subtypes are likely to vary. A new study highli
