[34] [35] [36] History Amchitka nuclear test in the 1960s The United States planned underground nuclear tests on the geologically unstable Amchitka Island in Alaska.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Because in 1964 Alaska had one of the strongest earthquakes ever measured, concerns about triggering earthquake and tsunamis were raised by US nuclear test plans.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

At the US-Canada border, protesters protested against nuclear testing with signs that read “Don't Make A Wave.

1969 However, the United States conducted a nuclear test and despite fears no earthquakes occurred.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Soon, the United States announced its intentions to conduct an underground nuclear test five times larger than before in 1971.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

[37] Jim Bohle, a peace activist who served in the United States Navy at the time of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Irving Stowe, a US Quaker and likewise peace activist, were frustrated by the inaction of the environmental organization Sierra Club over US nuclear testing.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

From Irving Stowe, Bohlen learned about a peaceful way of protesting solely by being present when grievances occurred.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

From a 1958 protest by the Quakers who opposed the nuclear tests on Bikini Atoll, Jim Bohlen's wife Marie had the idea to navigate to the Amchitka nuclear test site.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

After the plan reached the public domain, it was attached to the Sierra Club, of which both Jim Bohlen and Irving Stowe were members.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The Sierra Club did not like such a connection, so in 1970 Jim Bohlen and Irwing Stowe along with law student Paul Cote founded the Don't Make A Wave Committee, borrowing the name from earlier demonstrations [37].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The Don't Make A Wave committee chartered itself a ship, Phyllis Cormack, who was given the name of the term Greenpeace coined by activist Bill Darnell for the duration of the protest.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In the fall of 1971, the ship set off toward Amchitka, but the U.S. Coast Guard vessel Confidence prevented Greenpeace from entering the nuclear test site.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

However, without their captain's knowledge, the Confidence crew had time to convey the message to the activists “Due to the situation we are in, we Confidence crew perceive your tome to be for the good of all mankind.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

If our hands were not tied by military action, we would be in the same position with you if that were at all possible.

Greenpeace

Good luck.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

We support you 100 per cent”.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

However, due to the turnaround and bad weather, the crew decided to return to Canada, learning that news of their protest and a message from the Coast Guard crew had drawn widespread sympathy for the Greenpeace protest.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The organization then attempted on other ships to navigate the nuclear test site until, in November 1971, the United States carried out its nuclear tests.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The realization of the nuclear test drew widespread criticism of the United States, and ultimately the United States decided not to pursue nuclear tests at Amchitka.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In 1972, the Don't Make A Wave committee changed its official name to the Greenpeace Foundation [37].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Although Greenpeace does not have a clear founding date, the organisation considers its activities to have begun with the first protest in 1971 [38].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Expanding operations after the completion of the Amchitka nuclear tests, Greenpeace shifted its focus to French nuclear testing at Mururoa Atoll in French Polynesia.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

However, the newly formed organisation needed help to reach the atoll, and David McTaggart, a former private entrepreneur living in New Zealand who did not approve of French nuclear testing, signed up to help.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

McTaggart repeatedly piloted Greenpeace to the vicinity of Mururoa Atoll into international waters.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The French Navy sought to prevent protests by, among other things, assaulting McTaggart.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

After the assault became public in 1974, France announced that it would stop nuclear testing in the atmosphere [37].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In the mid-1970s, Greenpeace began a campaign against commercial whaling, first starting as a stand-alone campaign called Project Ahab, as some of Greenpeace's leadership did not want to expand activities beyond opposing nuclear weapons.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Following the 1975 death of Irwin Stowe, who was of this opinion, Phyllis Cormack left Vancouver to confront Soviet whalers off the coast of California.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Protesters took off in rubber boats between the whales and the harpoonmen, and the imagery spread across the world's media.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In the 1970s, the organisation also began to intervene in the commercial catching of seals and environmental toxins [37].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The organisation's restructuring in the late 1970s around the world had begun to form somewhat autonomous Greenpeace local groups.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In North America, local offices bickered with each other, as many offices did not want to operate under the Greenpeace Foundation and its secretary general Patrick Moore.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

After the events of Mururoa Atoll, McTaggart had moved to Europe to wage a legal battle against the French state and also ended up developing the cooperation of European local offices.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Eventually, in 1979, David McTaggart resolved the standoff, particularly between North American local offices, by establishing Greenpeace International in Holland and reorganising the governance of the organisation [37].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Organisation Administrative Greenpeace consists of Greenpeace International (officially called Stichting Greenpeace Council) in Amsterdam, Holland, together with 27 regional offices located in 41 countries around the world [39].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Greenpeace International is run by a seven-person board of directors, with Lalita Ramdas, an Indian serving as its chairman.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The Board of Directors of Greenpeace International selects the Executive Director responsible for the day-to-day operations of the organisation.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Currently, operations are led by South African Kumi Naidoo.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Also, each regional Greenpeace office is run by a local board.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Each year, regional governments appoint a trustee from each of their ranks to represent the regional office at the annual General Assembly.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In the General Assembly, Board members of Greenpeace International are elected by trustees for three years at a time or, if necessary, dismiss board members.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The board of Greenpeace International therefore operates under the supervision of the trustees of the Annual General Assembly.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Following a decline in the number of traditional supporters of the organisation in the 1990s, Greenpeace developed its use of feissaus to reach larger groups of people as supporters [42] [43].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In 2005, the organisation received donations totalling €169.6 million.

Greenpeace

Most of this money came in monthly donations from around 2.7 million individuals [44], mainly from Europe, where the organisation has been more successful than its beginnings in North America.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Views on Organisation Structure Greenpeace says the organisation is not a grassroots popular movement, but an independent international organisation for which it is important to be able to make decisions quickly, and whose centralised governance enables environmental protection activities comparable to corporate efficiency.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

According to the organization, both monetarily and in thought, the number of people supporting Greenpeace gives Greenpeace and its environmental perspectives weight when negotiating environmental issues.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

[45] [46] According to David McTaggart, who designed Greenpeace's international governance structure in 1979, forgetting centralised decision-making was a problem for many other groups seeking to become international.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Simplified and centralised decision-making, he said, was necessary to ensure the effectiveness of international organisation: “I know, we don't like the words 'centralised decision-making', but multinationals and governments whose policies we are trying to influence are afraid of those words in the context of popular movements and opponents”.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

[47] According to Juhana Rossi, editor of Helsingin Sanomat, Greenpeace is not an open NGO like the Red Cross, for example, and Greenpeace does not have the moral strength of a democratic NGO, as monthly donors cannot influence the organisation's decision-making.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

[40] Some MEPs such as e.g.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Since 1990, climate protection Greenpeace has called for reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency, renewable forms of energy and land use changes such as curbing deforestation [51].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In the 1990s, the organisation also began providing climate policy advice and background information to smaller states threatened by climate change [52].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

During the 1990s, Greenpeace also actively campaigned to protect the ozone layer by developing, together with industry, a freon-free refrigerator for mass production [53].

In the 21st century, Greenpeace has criticized ExxonMobil for complicating climate policy.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In 2005, Greenpeace revealed that ExxonMobil was complicit in the George W. Bush administration's negative attitude towards the Kyoto Treaty [55] [56].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The organisation has also published funding items for ExxonMobil which, according to Greenpeace, show ExxonMobil funding climate change advocacy groups [57].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

However, according to ExxonMobil, these groups do not represent ExxonMobil's views and the majority of funded groups have not taken a position on climate change [58].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In 2007, Greenpeace, together with EREC, published the Energy [R] evolution energy scenario based on energy efficiency and renewable energy, which, according to Greenpeace, would enable global greenhouse gas emissions to halve by 2050 and would stop global warming.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In international climate policy, Greenpeace has called for binding emissions reductions worldwide and 40% reductions for industrialized countries from 1990 levels by 2020.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The organisation said developed countries should also provide substantial support to emerging countries to enable developing countries to raise their living standards in a climate sustainable way, halt deforestation and adapt to the effects of climate change.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Greenpeace has also produced, along with other organisations, a proposal for the Copenhagen Climate Agreement.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The proposal was presented at the UN climate talks in Bonn in August 2009 [59].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Forest conservation Greenpeace aims to protect the world's remaining natural state forests.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The organisation says the biggest causes of deforestation include cattle farming, illegal logging, rising paper consumption and clearing of soybean and oil palm plantations.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Rainforests, in particular, are targets of Greenpeace activity, as cutting down rainforests exacerbates climate change.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The organisation has therefore criticised numerous large companies for their links to rainforest deforestation [60] [61] [62].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

As a result of the criticism, many companies such as Unilever, McDonald's and Nike, with the help of Greenpeace, have sought to improve rainforest protection and how they operate [22] [63] [64].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

However, Cargill, one of the world's largest feed producers, criticised Greenpeace's claims as incorrect [64], albeit welcoming the conservation efforts created as a result of Greenpeace's campaigning [63].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

In Europe, Greenpeace has criticized the EU's FLEGT programme, which restricts trade in illegal timber, for making modest progress.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The organisation believes that voluntary agreements between the EU and producer countries do not prevent sufficient importation of illegal timber into the EU, although voluntary agreements are a good start [65].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Greenpeace has called for legislation in EU policy to prevent imports into the EU of timber obtained illegally or in breach of international agreements [66] [67].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

According to Greenpeace, the Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) mechanism, which reduces emissions through forest protection, should form part of the climate agreement following the Kyoto agreement [68].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

However, the organization criticized the inclusion of the REDD mechanism in emissions trading, fearing that this would collapse the price of emissions and make it more profitable for industrialized countries not to invest in a clean and efficient energy economy, leaving emissions from developed countries not falling.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Greenpeace calls for a fund detached from emissions trading to protect forests, through which developed countries would support efforts by developing countries to protect rainforests [69].


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Negative nuclear position Greenpeace considers nuclear risks and environmental issues too problematic in relation to the benefits of nuclear power.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Greenpeace says the U.N. estimate of the death toll from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster as 9000 cancer deaths is an underestimate.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The organisation itself estimated the death toll from the accident to be 200,000 over a long period of time.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

According to Greenpeace, fewer than half of those deaths are caused by cancer, and other causes of death include cardiovascular disease, problems with respiratory functions, internal organs and endocrine gland system, and especially the immune system.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

[70] According to Greenpeace, the cooperation agreement between the WHO and the IAEA, which promotes peaceful use of nuclear power, has influenced WHO assessments of the Chernobyl casualty rate.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

[70] [71] According to WHO, the UN and Greenpeace reports should not be compared, since the UN report only takes into account the most polluted areas from three different countries where Greenpeace takes into account the whole of Europe.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The WHO also denied the Greenpeace report's accusations of the WHO's pro-nuclear nature.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

[72] Greenpeace considers uranium mining and accumulation of nuclear waste to be permanent problems for nuclear energy: the organisation has revealed dangerously high levels of radiation in areas surrounding uranium mining [73] and, according to the Australian Senate, has witnessed plutonium held by the civilian population less than a third is under IAEA control.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

[74] Greenpeace justifies nuclear power as irrelevant to climate change mitigation due to the marginal energy production component of nuclear power, hidden costs and slow and delayed construction times.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The organization points to the IEA's energy scenario, in which quadrupling the world's nuclear capacity by 2050 would cut carbon emissions by 4%.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Nuclear price estimates are based on builders' advance estimates, not realized costs, according to Greenpeace.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

The organisation considers Olkiluoto 3, which is being built in Finland, as an example of problems with additional construction of nuclear power.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Greenpeace said emissions reductions would be achieved more quickly through decentralized forms of renewable energy generation rather than nuclear power.

Greenpeace

The most famous of them is probably a former fishing vessel called the Rainbow Warrior, a rainbow fighter, laid into the waters under the flag of Greenpeace in 1978.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Criticism Previously at the head of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore left the organisation in 1986, as according to Moore, Greenpeace decided to start opposing chlorination of drinking water and his colleagues had no scientific training at all.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

Moore has criticized Greenpeace for rejecting scientific objectivity.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

[76] Bruce Cox, Executive Director of Greenpeace Canada has responded that Greenpeace has never opposed chlorination of drinking water, and that “Moore is alone in remembering the controversy over chlorination and scientificity as the reason for his departure from Greenpeace”.


Question: Where does Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior ship get its name from?

Greenpeace

[77] Paul Watson, an early member of Greenpeace has said that Moore “uses his status as the founder of Greenpeace, so to speak, to lend credibility to his accusations.

Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

[13] History Background The Simpsons came about at a time when American animation was on the trough both in television and cinema.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

Animations aimed only at children were shown on television, and in order to protect children, the cartoon programmes had been cut off anything that suggested violence and had no previous mockery.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

[14] [15] The new rise of animation was fuelled, along with the Simpsons, by the film Who set the trap, Roger Rabbit?


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

(1988) and the Disney blockbuster animation The Little Mermaid (1989) released just before the Simpsons' own series began.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

[15] Genesis The Simpsons originated when television and film producer James L. Brooks wanted to spice up his production television series The Tracey Ullman Show with short animation snippets before and after the commercial breaks.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

To be the cartoonist of the series, Brooks wanted Matt Groening, as he liked the Life is Hell comic, drawn by Groening, which appeared in the Los Angeles Reader.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

Brooks contacted Groening in 1985.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

Groening was unwilling to transfer his existing cartoon into animation, so he invented the Simpsons family and sketched it over the course of a quarter of an hour while waiting for access to Brooks's talk.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

Character names he took from his own family, except for Bart's, which was an anagram of the word brat, 'brat'.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

[16] Brooks accepted Groening's idea, and the Tracey Ullman Show began to be made in conjunction with Groening's animations.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

The animations' handwriting was provided by Groening himself and were drawn in the United States by a total of four animators at the Klasky-Csupo animation studio, usually two at a time.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

Most voice actors were taken from The Tracey Ullman Show.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

[19] The Simpsons short films were made over three seasons for a total of 48 songs.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

Included were all current family members and a few minor characters.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

The characters' personalities were not yet fully developed: Lisa, for example, was not an intellectual but akin to Bart.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

[20] The characters were still quite crudely drawn and resembled their current forms only remotely.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

Groening sent the raw sketches to the animators as they are and assumed they would tidy them up.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

The animators, however, merely reproduced Groening's cartoons.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

[21] The Simpsons grew rapidly in popularity, their share became longer, and the level of animation improved.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

After the series' third season, preparations for the Simpsons' own series were already underway and they were never seen again on The Tracey Ullman Show.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

[22] Beginning of its own series The Simpsons received its own half-hour prime time programming slot from the young Fox channel in 1989.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

Fox proposed only four episodes, but Brooks managed to secure a contract for thirteen.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

At the same time, he pushed through his demands that control of the show's content remain with Brooks' own production company, Gracie Films.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

Thus, the preservation of the Simpsons' distinctive style was protected from the demands of the channel's executives.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

In addition to Brooks and Groening, Sam Simon became the series's executive producer.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

This trio contributed greatly to the shape of the series in its early seasons.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

The part of Brooks was in the development and direction of the series, with Groening and Simon being the production stage drag charge.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

[23] A big group of new screenwriters were hired for the series, including Jon Vitti, John Swartzwelder, Al Jean and Mike Reiss.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

The series wanted to be made into a realistic and believable adult situation comedy, as opposed to the stretchy and banging animations before it.

Simpsons

It was decided to omit the laugh track.


Question: Who wrote The Simpsons?

Simpsons

[24] Plenty of power-ups, including Rich Moore and Brad Bird, were hired to assist Wes Archer and David Silverman at the animation studio.

Full-length plots are brought back to a team of writers who can alter, delete, and add jokes or scenes.
