Researchers at the University of Graz unveil that carbon dioxide removal capacities must be shared fairly between countries, just like emissions budgets, if the world is to meet the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target in the long term. Their study warns that weak climate policy and limited CO₂ removal capacity will create major injustices between countries. Julia Danzer and Gottfried Kirchengast estimate that the sustainable long-term capacity for annual CO₂ removal is less than 10% of today’s annual greenhouse gas emissions, making removal a scarce resource. They have developed a "computer game model" to explore different scenarios of fair and unfair allocation of removal rights across countries, finding that unfair control of some countries over CO2 removal would exacerbate global inequalities.

Researchers at Tulane University have identified brain circuits that help determine how fear responses change as perceived threats diminish, offering new insight into how the brain regulates defensive behavior and why those processes may break down in conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
Researchers have used artificial intelligence to develop a new tool for assessing earthquake damage, a leap that could ultimately help first responders in making critical rescue decisions, suggests a new study.
