Storms...it can be violent, destructive, and frightening. However, just like life, there are two sides to just about everything. The beauty of storms is undeniable. Dark, towering clouds rolling in, often tinged with hues of gray, blue, and even green, create a mesmerizing sky. Lightning bolts slicing through the darkness, illuminating the clouds and the landscape in brief, brilliant flashes, add to the dramatic scene. The sight of rain falling in sheets, sometimes backlit by the sun, is both soothing and awe-inspiring. And after you have braced yourself, the cleasening nature of storms renews you!
In Japan we are witnessing the destructive power of nature... Everybody out there should somehow show their compassion for the victims of this disaster.
The horror we are seeing is the result of our naive belief that we can do with this planet whatever we want. But we can't. If we keep on living this way the rest of the world will suffer just the way Japan is right now. Stand up for the earth!

Mind, of destructive taste
I choose...to stroll amongst the waste
That was your heart
Lost in the dark
Call off the chase
You opened fire, and your mark was true
You opened fire, aim my smilin' skull at you
You opened fire...
I live tomorrow, you'll not follow
As you wallow in a sea of sorrow

On our hike this afternoon, we witnessed the aftermath of the very destructive May 2022 derecho.
A derecho is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated with a fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms known as a mesoscale convective system.
Derechos can cause hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, heavy rains, and flash floods. In many cases, convection-induced winds take on a bow echo (backward "C") form of squall line, often forming beneath an area of diverging upper tropospheric winds, and in a region of both rich low-level moisture and warm-air advection. Derechos move rapidly in the direction of movement of their associated storms, similar to an outflow boundary (gust front), except that the wind remains sustained for a greater period of time (often increasing in strength after onset), and may exceed hurricane-force. A derecho-producing convective system may remain active for many hours and, occasionally, over multiple days.

Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.
-Salvador Dali
Another artefact of Sanctum, Elven Prism .
This artifact basically is a bunch of dull, opaque energy crystals in a frame of metal, which does not conduct energy. If you change the position of the initial crystal, it distorts field of the crystal-emitter, and it emit energy flows. Flows enter the third crystal, which multiplies the destructive power of the beam and sends it to the last, fourth crystal, which focuses it and thins to the width of human hair. When hitting the target the beam stability is gone and causes powerful energy burst.
I'll get cookie who get reference right :D

A SERIES ON THE EASTERN GRAY/EASTERN GREY SQUIRREL (SCIURUS CAROLINENSIS)
By Paul Williams
The Grey (or Gray) squirrel, you either love 'em or you hate 'em. Cute and fluffy little funsters or destructive critters who ruin trees, kill bird chicks and trees and damage our homes... oh and it's their fault we lost our native Red squirrels as well!
OK
I get it and I see both sides of the story of course. For my part, I am a nature, wildlife and landscape photographer who prefers the company of animals and natural beauty to fellow humans who are systematically plundering Mother Earth's resources and killing off her beautiful creatures at an alarming rate! I believe there is a natural order of things, creatures kill other creatures to survive, they adapt to situations and when mankind encroaches on their territory to make a fast buck, those animals sometimes adapt to survive and the order changes. That is the balance of nature which is ever changing and affected by us..... the dumbest of the great apes. Some species are driven out by others, some may be destined to become extinct, the fittest will survive, and sometime a species will need intervention and help from mankind in order to survive... usually as a direct consequence of mankind's own actions in destroying the animal kingdom's natural habitat of course.
I adore these little fellas and at almost sixty years old, I never grew up knowing red squirrels at all. I've seen reds in Scotland and black squirrels in Stanley Park on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, but in my beloved home country of England I have always known and loved the cute little Greys. They visit my garden and give me hours, days, weeks of happiness and wonderful photographic opportunities, and I see them in Parks and forests all around me, so it's time to offer up an insight into the Grey squirrel, much loved, much hated... a sort of Marmite rodent if you will.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A SQUIRREL?
The word 'Squirrel', was first recorded in 1327 and hails from the Anglo-Norman word 'Esquirel', from old French 'Escurel', which was a reflex for the Latin word 'Sciurus'.The Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is also known as the Eastern Grey squirrel or simply grey squirrel depending on the region of the world it is found. It is a tree squirrel, of the squirrel family Sciuridae including over one hundred arboreal species native to all continents of the world other than Antarctica and Oceania. Tree squirrels live mostly in trees, apart from the flying squirrel. The best known genus is Sciurus, containing most of the bushy tailed squirrels which are found in Europe, North America, temperate Asia as well as central and south America.
The scientific classification for the Eastern Grey is:
KINGDOM: ANIMALIA PHYLUM: CHORDATA CLASS: MAMMALIA ORDER: RODENTIA FAMILY: SCIURIDAE GENUS: SCIURUS SUBGENUS: SCIURUS SPECIES: SCIURUS CAROLINENSIS
A mammal and rodent, predominantly herbivorous they are none the less an omnivore with a life span of between two and ten years. They can grow to 70cm in length and weigh up to 8kg. There are more than two hundred and sixty species of worldwide squirrel, the smallest being the African pygmy squirrel at just 10cm in length, whereas the Indian giant squirrel is three feet long! The oldest fossil of a squirrel, Hesperopetes, dates back to the late Eocene epoch period Chadronian period of 40-35 million years ago. The tree squirrels rotate their ankles by 180 degrees, so that the hind paws pointy backwards gripping tree bark which enables them to descend a tree headfirst.
Originally native to Eastern and Midwestern United States of America, they were first introduced into the United Kingdom in 1876 in Henbury Park, Macclesfield in Cheshire when Victorian banker Thomas V. Brocklehurst released a pair of Greys that he brought back from a business trip to America after their attraction as pets had waned. Victorians had a penchant for collecting exotic animals and birds of the world, but trends came and went and subsequently animals were simply discarded into the wilderness. There are early records of greys released near Denbighshire in north Wales from private collections. Later introduced to several regions in the UK, they quickly settled and spread, colonizing an area of three hundred miles in a quarter of a century between Argyll and Stirlingshire in Scotland.
Introductions of the Greys between 1902 and 1929 (the year of the last recorded introduction), included: Regent’s Park in London, Berkshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, Devon, Warwickshire, Nottinghamshire, Suffolk and Hampshire. Grey Squirrels spread into Gloucestershire and eastern Wiltshire with animals coming directly from the United States or from Woburn. One hundred greys were released in Richmond Park in Surrey in 1902, Ninety one into Regent’s Park between 1905 and 1907 and a further ten New Jersey imported greys were introduced into Woburn Park in Bedfordshire.
FACTS, MYTHS AND THAT POXY PARAPOX!
The massive decline in native red squirrels blamed upon the spread of the invasive greys has always been perhaps a little harsh as reds were already in a steep decline due to loss of habitat and disease and thus the greys simply took over the areas where the reds were dwindling. It's also a fact that reds were also seen as a plague, branded as pests who killed birds and damaged trees and the culling of reds almost brought them to the brink of extinction. Licenses to kill reds could still be obtained up until the seventies!
Reds suffered at the hands of mankind thanks to a combination of agricultural deforestation also linked with war and fuel needs which caused extinction in Southern Scotland and Ireland by the early eighteenth century, way before greys had been introduced. Harsh winters killed off the less hardy red population in the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Greys are more adept at finding food and adapting to locations and environments, but also carry the squirrel poxvirus (SQPV) which although not particularly harmful to them, is a serious infection for the reds.
Parapox in red squirrels causes swollen lesions around the mouth, eyes, ears and nose also the front paws and sometimes genitals and skin ulcers and kills a red within fifteen days. There is no definitive correlation between the spread of the virus and the spread of the Greys, it actually arrived in several areas before the greys began to colonize there. An epidemic virus was observed in Red squirrels from at least 1900 with isolation attempts failing, and the first case of Parapox in the UK was in 1980 in the county of Norfolk. Greys cannot transmit the virus to reds via saliva or faeces, but reds can between each other from bodily secretions and at animal feeders in gardens. The transmission from greys to reds is though to come from parasites. Eight to ten per cent of reds survive the virus, and there is some evidence that reds are slowly building an evolved resistance.
Greys are seen as pests to forest land, stripping bark from trees during May and June, and are also capable of destroying household bins, water pipes, causing roof damage not to mention taking eggs and killing young chicks of ground nesting and songbird populations. They also take from bird feeders and there is a whole industry for creating squirrel proof feeders these days.
THE CULLING OF GREY SQUIRRELS
Grey squirrels have limited legal protection and can be legally controlled all year round by a variety of methods including shooting and trapping. Methods of trapping and killing include Drey poking and shooting, Tunnel trapping using spring traps set in accordance with BASC’s trapping pest mammals code of practice. They can also be shot using a shotgun or powerful air rifle or up until September 30th 2014 poisoned by Warfarin (Now outlawed).
Whilst professional trapping and extermination is hopefully done as humanely as possible, there have been cases, many of them where cost savings have been gained by battering the squirrels to death! Grey squirrels are trapped in ghastly metal contraptions for hours and hours, wearing themselves out frantically trying to escape by gnawing at the metals bars. They bite the floor and scratch at them with their claws and do not get a moments peace or rest through absolute fear. Once the traps are retrieved, each squirrel, terrified will be thrown into a sack and smacked on the head countless times with a blunt instrument. When a mother is slaughtered, her babies who are totally dependent on her, will die a slow death of thirst and starvation.
There is an argument for the control of Greys on many grounds but also a counter argument that Culling does not work, and has not on countless times where, once a population of greys have been culled, the nearest group will move back in and claim the land. The university of Bristol concluded that there was little evidence that culling greys to save red squirrels was effective, and that perhaps finding a way of boosting red squirrel immunity to the poxvirus or planting areas of yew trees where reds are known to thrive and spending money on research into positive moves might be a better option.
In Ireland, the re-introduction of the Pine marten, a species made extinct originally by the very same land owners who also wish to do the same to the grey squirrel, has seen the rapid demise of the grey and the reintroction of the native reds. Red squirrels are smaller and more nimble than their grey counterparts, and as such can get to the very ends of tree branches where neither the pine martins, nor more importantly the heavier greys can, thus surviving and thriving. As a result in Ireland, the grey squirrel population has crashed in approximately 9,000 km2 of its former range and the reds has become common once more after a thirty year absence... oh and Pine Martens are protected again!
In Scotland, Pine Martens exist in areas where Red squirrels thrive, and greys do not. So perhaps there is a lesson here, as in England where there are no pine martens, the greys are prolific breeders. So there is an argument against the barbarity of shooting and poisoning greys, and if, as so many believe, the greys MUST be controlled, how about a more humane and natural method that nature intended.. with re-introduction of predators. Just a thought!
So a few facts and figures on the greys and to wrap up, from a purely personal perspective I love these little guys, as I do almost every creature in nature other than those eight legged beasties that shall not be named and for which I have a deep and powerful phobia that borders on paranoia!
I could no more harm an animal deliberately than eat a McDonald's McRib (Once saw how they are made and let me just say... eeeuuuuuwwwww!!). They are small, cute, cuddly, furry, they photograph beautifully, have great personality and make me smile. They trust me enough to take food from my hand in parks, and I can't bare the though of ugly, hairy land owners sticking a shotgun in their face and blowing them away! I appreciate they can be a pest, a problem, a menace, that their PR managers might have a bit of a problem winning you over when they flay small chicks alive on your lawn or decimate the songbird population by stealing their eggs.... and perhaps there is a need to keep the population under control and try and re-establish the red population.....
Yep I get that....
I just hope we can solve the problem more humanely to create a peaceful coexistence of the reds and greys in different areas. A man can dream can't he.

Here we see, Sciurus Carolinensis (Eastern Gray Squirrel or Grey Squirrel), a tree squirrel native to North America and first introduced to the UK in the 1870's. Though it was largely responsible for the decimation of our own native red squirrel population, those are now on the increase and found in certain parts of the UK including Scotland. The Greys are still an ecologically essential natural forester regenerator.

(RDM - Grofsmederij / Ketelmakerij (Urban Frontiers 131))
Europe, Netherlands, Rotterdam, RDM, Grofsmederij/Ketelmakerij, demolition/renovation of the quays, Caterpillar excavator (six word story) (uncut)
The RDM wharf on Heijplaat…... After the bankruptcy of the wharf and many years of dereliction and mixed use, it's been redeveloped.
For in-depth critical information about the history and redevelopment of the RDM, check out RDM, architectuurhistorische verkenningen (2005) by Crimson architectural historians, to me one of the most authoritative sources in the field of Dutch urban development.
One the first parts to be redeveloped was the Machine hall. It became the RDM-campus. The Port of Rotterdam (Havenbedrijf), Hogeschool Rotterdam and ROC Albedacollege were the instigators.The latter two became the prime users. The giant hall is split in two halves. Check out this post, it was shot in the one for educational purposes - in the ROC Albeda college sub-part. This organization provides low and mid level professional education
After that, the Onderzeebootloods was renovated. Until 1994, submarines were built there, and it is now a facility for large-scale exhibitions. Check out this post..
For an overview of the other buildings that are redeveloped , check out this.
The most recent part that´s being redeveloped is the ´Grofsmederij´ (Foundry) /´Ketelmakerij´ (Boiler production facility). It will be made available as modular production facilities. Dimensions: 15.000 sq m, height under the overhead cranes 16 m, length of the quay : 150 m. What´s shown here is the stripped outer shell of the giant building and the renovation works of the quays, which involve the demolition and renewal of the top layer and partly also that of the foundation. More Information about this project is here.

Built in the late eighteenth century by Frederick Hervey, Church of Ireland Bishop of Derry, in memory of his brother George. The statue of George, originally on top was blown over in a storm. It's frequently windy, even on a good day, so a storm at Downhill demesne would be destructive.
We got about four inches of snow in Virginia today. It was beautiful and unusual and (unfortunately) destructive. So many trees in the Shenandoah Valley still have leaves, so there were lots of split trees, branches down and powerlines taken out. We lost power for a while, but all is well now.
My most excellent husband drove me around this morning (even though he has a cold) so I could take a few photos of the fall foliage covered with snow. My most excellent husband also invented something to help me get out into the snow despite a defective foot. You see, last Sunday we went hiking and I somehow obtained the mother of all blisters on my left heel. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I wore dress shoes and did my normal workouts. By Thursday, I could no longer walk and ended up at the doctor's office - for a flipping blister. Anyhow... to make a long story short, I can't wear any shoes that put pressure on my heel for a few more days. Ever try walking in the snow in open shoes? It's not fun. So Adam invented 'Ghetto Gaiters'. Basically, they're socks with plastic grocery bags over them shoved inside the neon green crocs that I (typically) only wear as 'camp shoes' when we're backpacking. They weren't pretty. They weren't particularly warm. But my feet stayed dry and my blister continues to heal... and I got the shots I wanted.
I wish the snow hadn't been falling so hard when I was shooting, but oh well...

”Ladies and gentlemen, I will be blunt, because we haven't much time left. As you are likely aware, the Central American Secession Area bombed one of our top military bases two days ago with what we've confirmed to be some form of growth accelerating wave emitter and a cocktail of genetically modified plants engineered to be highly destructive. Our attempts to cut back and contain the growing plants have failed, and burning was reserved as a last resort but ultimately failed as the GMOs secrete flame-retardant mucus. In these two days, they have completely engulfed several cities. Within the last seven hours, they crossed our borders into Canada. Obviously, CASA and their affiliate defense provider Aether Phylltech Incorporated do not intend to stop with punishing East-USA, they have decided it is time to expand their territory. It is reasonable to believe they will not see any reason not to attempt the EU in the future... Besides surrender, our only option is to destroy the growth area. Our intel in CASA, which we're very lucky to to have, has sent us a file pertaining to the “Green Tide” bomb and its progeny. It is very technical; in short it outlines the mechanism and how to disarm it. It is a two-step process: the bomb itself, which emits an energized signal that sends hyperexpanded matter to plants containing a certain artificial gene, must be remotely deactivated from CASA. Secondly, all the plants in Green Tide's arsenal are engineered with a special genetic subprotocol that kills the organism when a certain “key protein” is introduced in a specified amount to the organism's system. CASA no doubt will turn off their bomb and kill the green wave when they are ready to occupy our land, but it will be too late for us at that point. I have called you together to evaluate and brainstorm a means of infiltrating CASA, deactivating the wave bomb, and retrieving the coded protein and information about the proper amount to administer it in. I need not tell you that this will be difficult. Our spies have managed to hack a few images through CASA's firewalls, but we really have no idea what CASA has done recently, as they began to block orbital cameras a few years back. However, intel has sent us a number of files pertaining to their border defenses, which are invaluable. All drones sent to investigate have lost transmission before their cameras could get a glimpse, and neither they nor the brave souls who tried to see it in person have ever returned.
There is a wall that encloses the entirety of CASA. Each fencepost stands fifteen feet tall and fifteen feet away from the next one. The actual wall consists of three horizontal rods, reaching a height of nine feet. A total of six metallic pods sit on the rods of each wall segment, and from these grow a type of climbing ivy that has been engineered to convert excess sunlight into electrical energy, effectively electrifying the fence. Like most API patented GMO organisms, they secrete flame-retardant mucus, so we cannot simply burn down the wall.
Atop every post is a motion sensor and light, except every fifth post...those are topped instead by a long-range electromagnetic pulse railgun outfitted with a camera and chemical laser cannon. The EMP has a range of 750 yards, while the laser cannon remains powerful for long enough to shoot down a high-altitude airplane. The specifications here note that the electro-ivy will discharge to power these defenses when the wall is not under attack, but they are also powered by an auxiliary generator within a complex several miles from the wall.
I know what some of you are thinking: Tunnel under! Sadly, we cannot. If you'll direct your attention to the conference screen, you will see CASA's primary border defense. The wall is secondary, though without the guns we could easily fly over.
This...monster...is noted here as one of the more complex experiments API has released for CASA's use. I will quote: 'Subject 491: Dionaea Muscipula extensively modified to enhance size, maneuverability, speed, and environmental durability for purposes of national security. Modifications include, in the following order:
Hormonal Controls: Modified to reject humans (fingers used to trigger trap mechanism) wearing patent #236 security pheromones except when otherwise prompted.
Size: Accelerated and assisted crossbreeding of largest organisms per crop to create a 50x specimen after 672 generations in 1.28 years.
Speed: Accelerated the organism's metabolism using Procedure 43.
Mobility and Structure: Modified genome content to replace cellulose in individual cell walls with cartilage and/or keratin. Flame-retardant mucus #4 was designed to be secreted. Extra space in stem, basal, and root structures due to size increases was redesigned to incorporate tension joints patterned after muscle structures in the trunk of an elephant. A more complicated nervous system with ganglia spread throughout the organism was implemented. Bipedal structures from class Aves and a caudal appendage for balance were carefully replicated using the organism's tissues and grafted to it. Reverse gene-sequencing procedures were followed to replicate the organism naturally.
Reproductive Inhibitors: Organism was modified to allow reproduction only through budding to create exact clones, three times, when fully mature. The buds will detach and take root; the adult will feed them until the first one to uproot itself kills the others for food right before the adult dies.
Instinct, Behavior, and Final Controls: The organism's ganglia were imprinted with subprotocols enabling dexterity in locomotion and battle and instinctual confining parameters of patrol except when triggered by any of the range of applicable control pheromones, hormones, and code proteins listed in the API GMO control directory. A more specific command to place a portion of any prey it captures by the pylons of the border fence so they could collect the biodegrading matter to fertilize the defense ivy was also included.'
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to say that is is moments like these that make me regret running for the presidency.
Another build for BL3. I think I'm starting to get into a running theme that isn't too realistic for my taste, but still refreshingly natural. "Natural".

Because of destructive action by Oliver Cromwell's Puritans in the 1650s most medieval stained glass windows in English churches was destroyed. The vast majority of stained glass in churches now dates from the latter half of the 19th century, when many churches underwent substantial restoration, or later.
This is the Church of St Mary the Virgin at Woodford in Northamptonshire. The church itself dates from the mid-12th century, and much of the interior dates from the 13th and 14th centuries. But not the glass in this window!
When an oversized Jar Jar Binks is on the loose only Godzilla stands in the way of his destructive clumsiness.
“Heyo tiny people! Mesa back! Bombad J.J. gonna teach you a lesson”
The Clumsy Creature is out for revenge but Godzilla is nearby signing autographs (using a very large pen of course) and he does not like that Jar Jar is bothering his own fans.
The King of Monsters has no patience for the King of Idiots so he grabs the Clumsy Creature’s long ears and tears him apart.
Jar Jar will be back. He always does for he is protected by the most powerful plot armor in existence. But today he won’t bother people any more :)
Some time ago I posted a photo of Godzilla action figure fighting against Jar Jar ( here is the link if you are curious: www.flickr.com/photos/133750589@N08/24925721582/in/photos... ) and I promised to make an image of Godzilla defeating him :)
However I run into a couple of problems since this Godzilla figure has a good articulation nearly everywhere except on the legs and finding a nice pose for the scene was not easy.
In the end I went for perhaps the most simple of the poses :)
I hope you like it :)
May the Force be with You :)

One of the most destructive farming practices was slash and burn, which was deforestation. Man’s agricultural activity could have caused climate change over 5000 years ago. These practices released large amounts of green house gases. Though they can't be compare with today's emissions but were large enough to increase the temperature by few Fahrenheit. Another destructive practice has been growing methane-bubbling crops. Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas; 23 times more effective in trapping heat than carbon dioxide CO2. Rice paddy fields are one of the major contributors of methane today. Rice was grown in large quantities even then so there must have been sufficient levels of methane, which could originate a possibility of climate change, thousands of years ago. William Ruddiman, a scientist who strongly believes man caused climate change several centuries ago. How? The practice of slash and burn made it possible. Man burnt down large area of forest covers and then used as his farm. Man shifted when his land productivity decreased as there was no need for people to take up efficient methods of cultivation. Land was present in excess so they were constantly on a move. It was later when population increased to a large number, the pressure to have high yields in lesser amount of land rose. Ruddiman examined the air bubbles, trapped in polar ice 5000 years ago, and found unexpected increases in carbon dioxide and methane. World methane production due to paddy fields has been estimated to be in the range of 50 to 100 million tonnes per annum. This level of greenhouse gas generation is a large component of the global warming threat produced from an expanding human population. But there's hope, recent studies have shown that methane can be significantly reduced while also boosting crop yield by draining the paddies allowing the soil to aerate, which interrupts methane production. German Max-Planck-Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, identified a group of microbes that play a big role in producing these emissions. The microbes absorb carbon released by the plants roots and use it to make methane, which is then released into the soil and emitted from there into the atmosphere. Until now, nobody knew which specific microbes were responsible for this process. More study is needed.
Despite Laos small population, undeveloped mineral deposits, and forest covering nearly 70 percent of the country, Lao's forests are threatened. Slash-and-burn agriculture, uncontrolled fires, commercial and illegal logging, and fuelwood collection resulted in the loss of 6.8 percent of the country's forests between 1990 and 2005. The deforestation rate has increased moderately since the close of the 1990s, but there is concern that the shift from a command economy toward a market-oriented economy will put increasing pressure on the forest resources of Laos. Despite these hurdles, there is hope for conservation in Laos. In an effort to protect the country's species richness, Laos recently established 18 National Biodiversity Conservation Areas including one known as Nakai Nam Theum National Biodiversity Area in the mountainous border area near Vietnam. During the 1990s researchers in this protected area discovered a new genus of cattle-like mammal along with two deer-like species. Photo of paddy fields taken on Don Khong island in the Mekong river.
Methaan: bekend van de gaskraan en scheikundeles, chemische formule CH4. Aardgas en moerasgas bestaan voor het grootste deel uit methaan. Methaan is een broeikasgas, het draagt net als koolzuurgas CO2 bij aan de opwarming van de aarde. Methaan is ruwweg 23 x zo effectief als koolzuurgas, het meest bekende broeikasgas. Omdat de CO2-concentratie in de atmosfeer echter nog vele malen hoger is dan die van methaan is CO2 toch het belangrijkste broeikasgas. Bovendien zet methaan in de lucht na verloop van tijd door oxidatie zelf om in CO2. De landbouw is een van de belangrijke producenten van methaan. Zo wordt in de spijsvertering van koeien veel methaan geproduceerd, net als in de bodem van natte rijstvelden. Methaan ontstaat ook op stortplaatsen van afval, wanneer de afbraakprocessen van dode biomassa onder zuurstofloze omstandigheden plaatsvinden. Dit gebeurt ook in de natuur. Er wordt dan vaak gesproken van moerasgas. Net als CO2 neemt het de laatste eeuw sterk toe in de atmosfeer, deels door menselijk toedoen. Gaslekken en de landbouw zijn belangrijke methaanbronnen. Veel methaan komt uit rijstvelden, dat zijn eigenlijk kunstmatige moerassen. Van nature ontstaat moerasgas doordat bacterien organische stof - bijvoorbeeld resten van dode planten - verteren. Dat gebeurt alleen onder strikt zuurstofloze omstandigheden, zoals die in een met water verzadigde moerasbodem heersen. Vooral in het Noorden van Rusland, Siberie, Canada en Alaska strekken zich gigantische moerasgebieden uit. Deze moerasgebieden produceren ook grote hoeveelheden moerasgas of methaan. Vorming van moerasgas is sterk gevoelig voor warmte: methaan bacterien produceren meer methaan bij een lekker temperatuurtje. Dat betekent dat de opwarming van de aarde door het broeikaseffect zou kunnen leiden tot meer methaan, dus meer meer broeikaseffect, nog hogere temperaturen, nog meer methaan..... enzovoort. Een zichzelf versterkende, positieve terugkoppeling in het broekaseffect. De wereldbevolking blijft groeien en zal zich moeten voeden: dat betekent steeds meer rijst verbouwen. Maar er is hoop, volgens German Max-Planck-Institute er is een biologische manier om het broeikasgas van methaan af te breken namelijk via bacteriën. Door middel van de rijstvelden te bemesten met stikstof. De mest stimuleert namelijk methaan-etende bacteriën. Deze bacteriën zijn trouwens ook in staat zijn om allerlei verontreinigingen in bodem of water op te ruimen. Belangrijke beestjes kortom. Maar meer studie is nodig.

Mining Destroys Native Cultures
Often portrayed in romanticized terms, mining was very destructive to the Native people of Alaska & the Yukon Territory. The sudden influx of large numbers of non-Native miners brought disease & crime. The lands that Native people relied for food & shelter were overrun & stolen by miners & mining companies. Local habitat for fish & wildlife was destroyed & polluted from mining activities.
Loss of land, massive population collapse from disease, introduction of alcohol, & the erosion of traditional social structures eventually leads to the degradation of Native cultures living in mining regions. Although some Natives participated in & profited from the mining-based economy, the damage suffered to individuals, & their families & culture, was substantial
Exiles in their own land: theft of Native lands in Juneau
Juneau was constructed upon the territory of the Áak'w Kwáan Tlingit. Once the mining town was founded in 1880, commercial & private interests took over Native lands, sometimes through negotiations, but usually by disregarding Native claims to property. When the Aak'w people left their homes to harvest fish & food, non-natives saw the land as unused or abandoned. When land sales were negotiated, the transactions were often corrupt & unfair. Áak'w Kwáan leaders resisted until they were simply overrun & feared violent retribution.
