Dans le dédale des caves voûtées d’une vieille bâtisse provençale, un passionné vous ouvre ses portes à la rencontre d’un monde fascinant disparu il y a plus de 100 millions d’années : ammonites, poissons, étoiles de mer côtoient des ichtyosaures, véritables géants des océans anciens.
On the eve of the G20 Leaders' Summit, Extinction Rebellion activists used a series of unpermitted “guerrilla projections” to draw attention to the climate and health dangers of new fossil gas infrastructure. Fifteen grassroots activists beamed infrared footage of usually invisible methane leakage from Italian gas infrastructure onto the walls of the Tiber River in the heart of Rome.
Community members from nearby Civitavecchia co-led the action, criticizing the Italian government’s plans to build a new fossil gas plant in the city as they phase out coal. Methane is a greenhouse gas more than 100 times more potent than CO2 while in the atmosphere. “Natural gas” is more than 95% pure methane.
“Moving from coal to gas is like moving from unfiltered cigarettes to filtered. What our climate and communities need instead are for countries like Italy to quit building fossil fuel infrastructure entirely and start investing instead in renewable energy that supports local economies. Italy’s plans to replace the Enel coal-fired power plant in Civitavecchia with another climate-wrecking fossil fuel shows that their real interest lies in keeping Enel and Snam happy - not in reducing climate emissions,” said Neal Huddon-Cossar from XR Roma.
The case of Civitavecchia has become emblematic in Italy of the national government's climate and energy strategy that relies heavily upon the transformation of its existing coal infrastructure into fossil gas infrastructure. Of all countries in the EU, Italy is planning the largest expansion of fossil gas use in the electricity sector between 2018 and 2025.
“Investing in methane gas today means investing billions of euros that would directly harm public health and workers. The new gas plants do not create stable and lasting employment and expose local communities to serious health risks,” said Riccardo Petrarolo from No Fossil Fuels Civitavecchia.
The recent and ongoing release of infrared methane leakage images taken by the Clean Air Task Force in Europe is part of increased scepticism about EU public funding for new fossil gas infrastructure as a climate strategy.
“Methane in the atmosphere is rising at unprecedented rates. Emissions from the development and use of fossil gas are a major reason, and some research indicates increased emissions from fossil gas are the single largest cause of higher methane in the atmosphere globally over the past 10 to 15 years,” says Robert W. Howarth, PhD, global expert on methane emissions at Cornell University.

Ichnofossil Zoophycus sp. - Middle Jurassic (Upper Bajocian-Lower Bathonian) fine grained clastic limestones – Praia da Mareta, Sagres, Portugal
Zoophycos ichnocoenoses found in omission surfaces distributed along the “Margas e calcários detríticos com Zoophycos da Praia da Mareta” formation stratotype, from the upper Bajocian-lower Bathonian.
The constructional model for Praia da Mareta Zoophycos can be explained as an helicoid multi-spreite with logarithmic spirals, formed by U-shaped Rhizocorallium-like lamina, developed oblique and centripetally starting from a coiling axis. The spreite lamella are dominated by a micritic filling, faecal pellets devoided, very unlike the surrounding non-bioturbated sediment, which indicates mining strips activity by an endodepositivorous vermiform producer. In the Praia da Mareta sequence, the Zoophycos producers appears in large densities, certainly associated to ecological maxima, without biotic or environmental evidences of opportunistic ichnocoenoses.

Un siècle et demi sépare les chantiers de la ceinture Pichard (1839-1857) et du M2, les enjeux restent pourtant les mêmes: désengorger le centre de Lausanne en créant un nouvel axe de communication adapté aux moyens de transport de l’époque et répondant aux besoins des habitants.
Sous le parcours de la boucle 2 à la hauteur du giratoire de la Barre se situe le tunnel éponyme, percé entre 1851 et 1854 dans le cadre des travaux de la ceinture Pichard. Les fouilles lors du percement du tunnel révélèrent de multiples fossiles végétaux datant du Miocène (20 à 25 millions d’années), époque à laquelle la Lausanne actuelle se situait sous un climat subtropical. Malgré les importants changements climatiques survenus depuis lors sur l’ensemble de la planète, nous retrouvons encore aujourd'hui, à travers le monde et les jardins botaniques, ces mêmes espèces végétales qui recouvrirent le bassin Lémanique.
Le géologue et naturaliste suisse Oswald Heer peignit en 1864 une luxuriante et naïve reconstitution sur la base des fossiles exhumés. Un siècle et demi plus tard, nous proposons la création de cinq serres dans les niches percées dans le mur qui sépare la chaussée et le passage piéton.
Chacune de ces serres sera occupée par une essence majeure dont on a retrouvé les fossiles : camphrier, palmier, acacia, cannelier... accompagnées de différentes espèces végétales provenant de régions occupées actuellement par celles-ci.
Tout comme Heer en 1864, il s’agit de recréer un milieu végétal naturel imaginaire, mais cette fois et grâce aux moyens techniques actuels, « en nature ». Les volumes ainsi créés sont autant de morceaux de forêt reconstituée au coeur de l’espace urbain, provoquant une rupture avec l'actuelle configuration des lieux en proposant un voyage aussi bien dans le temps que dans l’espace, ces plantes étant aujourd’hui disséminées sur les cinq continents.
L'éclairage actuel du passage sera modifié afin de mettre en valeur les voûtes perpendiculaires, et chaque serre sera munie d'un dispositif d'éclairage spécifique.
Les serres agiront ainsi comme des « lanternes vertes » qui ponctueront et animeront le tunnel, modifiant ainsi radicalement le caractère du lieu. (L’électricité nécessaire à l’éclairage sera fournie par un des sites de production d'énergie solaire en partenariat avec les services industriels de la ville.)
Ce projet invite le visiteur de Lausanne Jardins à effectuer une escapade en trois dimensions sous le parcours « officiel », plongeant le promeneur au coeur même de la dichotomie "dessus-dessous", en empruntant l'escalier de la Barre pour rejoindre la place du Tunnel et la rampe à droite au sortir du passage pour se reconnecter avec le chemin usuel.
Looping propose une mise en relation de deux projets majeurs de l’histoire récente de la ville de Lausanne et un saut dans le temps de 25 millions d’années, tout en apportant une amélioration significative à un espace urbain peu engageant aujourd’hui.
Alors même que les climats et l’environnement de la planète ne cessent de se détériorer, la recréation de milieux dits « naturels » totalement contrôlés soulève également la question de la nature en tant qu'élément muséal et invite à se questionner sur l’opposition entre nature et artifice.

A crowd of one thousand activists attend a "Seattle Draws The Line" rally in Seattle, Washington April 26, 2015. People gathered together to take a stand against dirty fossil fuel projects in the Pacific Northwest and everywhere.
Shell sees climate change as a gateway to new profits. This is exactly the type of long-term, dirty fossil fuels project—like oil trains and coal exports—that can’t go forward if we hope to stop the worst effects of climate change and leave a real legacy for future generations.

This fossiled wood is 8400 years old and found in a river near Nijmegen, The Netherlands. It's staying upright nowadays in the "Millingerwaard".
Stoppt den Krieg! Frieden für die Ukraine und ganz Europa, Berlin 27.02.2022
Kundgebung in Berlin am 27. Februar 2022 auf der Straße des 17. Juni. Rund 150.000 Menschen standen und bewegten sich zwischen S-Bahnhof Tiergarten bis zur Russischen Botschaft.
Die Menschen protestierten gegen den seit 24.02.2022 andauernden Angriffskrieg der russischen Armee unter Führung von Putin gegen die Ukraine, sowie gegen die Abhängigkeit von russischem Gas. Sie zeigten uneingeschränkte Solidarität mit der Ukraine.
