This explanation of the 'greenhouse effect' in 1985 by Dr. Carl Sagan remains a landmark of science communication for its clarity and planetary perspective.
If you think things are bad now (they are) they can get much worse. The UK govt suppressed a report by MI5, MI6 & GCHQ saying there is a ""realistic possibility" that the decline of forests and glacial rivers would lead to "global competition for food" beginning in the 2030s."
And some particular disks where we found interesting results:

XII- Extreme mm variability (by @jamesmiley73)

After +3 years of data reduction, statistics, modelling, writing, submitting, etc, we can now better understand how protoplanetary disks evolve thanks to the AGEPRO ALMA (@almaobs) Large Program.

¡Con mucho orgullo! Nuestro equipo del Departamento de Física USACH participa en la XIX Reunión Anual de SOCHIAS en Arica. En la foto: Dr. Sebastián Pérez, Dr. Ileyk El Mellah, Dr. Cristóbal Espinoza, Dr. James Miley, @astrociras, @milenioyems y estudiantes de Astrofísica. 🌌💫
Astronom@s en Arica para #sochiasxix:
Tienes que probar la experiencia @astrodialogos, solo aquí hoy y mañana !!!
Recurso fantástico para aprender más de astronomía, o mejor, de la cosmovisión Likan Antay. Prepárate a ser transportado desde la meseta Chajnantor al universo
✨El @milenioyems ha renovado su financiamiento que permitirá al equipo seguir avanzando en el estudio de exoplanetas jóvenes y sus lunas y consolidando su desarrollo en inteligencia artificial aplicada al estudio del cosmos 🔭

Sept 11: This is an account by Víctor Blanco, historic director of Tololo Observatory during Salvador Allende's government, and later during the coup and the dictatorship. The coup was orchestrated by the Chilean right, the military, and the U.S. government against Chilean people
The IAU GA draws to a close! This has been a genuinely, profoundly inspiring experience. There are people achieving amazing things with astronomy all around the world and especially in Africa. I never imagined how many ways society was being improved through this field
Awesome talk from Mpati Ramatsoku on the human side of building a future research community. Great to hear her calls for a new approach to supporting early career researchers, highlighting challenges faced by researchers both in Africa and all across the world @astronomy2024
As part of the AGEPRO ALMA Large Program, we detected hints of planet formation signatures in a large-cavity disk in Upper Scorpius.
