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.

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.

J'ai du mal en ce moment. La semaine, avec le boulot, je sors il fait nuit. Ca va durer encore un moment en plus. Mais j'avoue que j'ai l'impression que ça me bride un peu. J'essaye quand même, c'est peut être ça le plus important. Ca reste quand même que pour faire une photo dans la rue, uen scène de vie, et bien ça complique sérieusement la donne.
Aujourd'hui je ruse. Avec ce megaloceros. Probablement un lointain cousin éteint du daim du #58 . J'aimerais quand même bien, demain, après-demain, et tous les jours de semaine suivants jusqu'en avril/mai trouver des solutions. Elles existent, elles ne sont même pas compliquées. La première c'est de prendre ma photo à un autre moment qu'en sortant. Mais ce n'est pas du tout "facile", mentalement. On verra si j'arrive à franchir le cap mental.
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.

My husband-in-law found this huge rock near a creek on his property, and we have always thought there was a fish fossil impression embedded in it. What do you think? Look at the next photo with outlining for hints.
There appear to be vertebrate impressions along with some rib indentions. I have no idea if it is real, but it certainly looks like it the more you study it in person.
The rock was part of the Walden Ridge escarpment in Roane County, Tennessee, near Harriman.
