[edit] Recording
In August 1969 the band, who were then known as Earth, decided to
change their name to Black Sabbath, because there was another band
also known as Earth. Around the same time they recorded and
distributed a demo version of their eponymous song. In December 1969
they recorded and released their debut single, "Evil Woman". In
January 1970, the band recorded and mixed the remaining seven songs
that would appear on their debut album. The songs were recorded "live"
and the entire process took just three days.
Guitarist Tony Iommi recalls recording live: "We thought 'We have two
days to do it and one of the days is mixing.' So we played live. Ozzy
was singing at the same time, we just put him in a separate booth and
off we went. We never had a second run of most of the stuff."[2]
[edit] Music and lyrics
Musically and lyrically the album was considered quite "dark" for the
time. The first song on the album is based almost entirely on a
tritone interval played at slow tempo on the electric guitar. The
song's lyrics concern a "figure in black" which bass player Geezer
Butler saw after waking up from a nightmare.
Similarly, the lyrics of the song "N.I.B." are written from the point
of view of Lucifer. Contrary to popular belief, the name of that song
is not an acronym for "Nativity In Black". Tony Iommi said in several
interviews that it is merely a reference to drummer Bill Ward's
pointed goatee at the time, which was shaped as a pen-nib.
Lyrics of two other songs on the album were written about supernatural-
themed stories. "Behind the Wall of Sleep" is a reference to the H. P.
Lovecraft short story Beyond the Wall of Sleep, while "The Wizard" was
inspired by the character of Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings.[3]
The latter includes harmonica performed by vocalist Ozzy Osbourne.
Both the songs "Warning" and "Evil Woman" are covers of blues songs,
with lyrics regarding relationships. The first was written and
performed by Aynsley Dunbar's Retaliation, and the second was written
and performed by the band Crow.
[edit] Artwork
The album cover features a depiction of Mapledurham Watermill,
situated on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. Standing in
front of the watermill is a figure dressed in black robes. This is
perhaps an allusion to the lyrics of their eponymous song: "A figure
in black, which points at me". On the original release, the inner
gatefold sleeve featured an inverted cross with a poem written inside
of it. Vertigo, the band's record label, was allegedly responsible for
adding the cross. The band was upset when they discovered this, as it
fuelled allegations that they were Satanists or Occultists. The album
was not packaged with a gatefold cover in the U.S.
[edit] Release and reception
Released on Friday the 13th February 1970 by Vertigo Records, Black
Sabbath reached number eight on the UK Album Chart. Following its US
release in May 1970 by Warner Bros. Records, the album reached number
23 on the Billboard 200, where it remained for over a year, selling a
million copies.[4][5]
While the album was a commercial success, it was widely panned by
critics. In a review for Rolling Stone magazine, rock critic Lester
Bangs felt Sabbath was "just like Cream! But worse". Bangs dismissed
Black Sabbath as a "a shuck—despite the murky songtitles and some
inane lyrics that sound like Vanilla Fudge paying doggerel tribute to
Aleister Crowley, the album has nothing to do with spiritualism, the
occult, or anything much except stiff recitations of Cream cliches".
[6]
In 2003, the album was ranked number 238 on Rolling Stone magazine's
list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Q magazine (8/00, p.126) later included it as one of the Best Metal
Albums of All Time, claiming that "[This] was to prove so influential
it remains a template for metal bands three decades on. The band's
signature song remains the scariest of all heavy metal songs."
Black Sabbath was rereleased as a deluxe edition in the U.K. on June
1, 2009 and is available as an import in the U.S. as of June 30, 2009.
The first disc contains the original Vertigo release of the album,
remastered. The second disc contains outtakes from the November 1969
Black Sabbath sessions.

[edit] Miscellany
The titles "Wasp", "Bassically" and "A Bit of Finger" are unique to
the North American editions. They are not extra songs but rather a
name for some part of a song, for example "Bassically" is simply the
bass introduction of "N.I.B". "Wasp" is the title of the first
'suite' (Behind the Wall of Sleep / Bassically / N.I.B.), and "A Bit
of Finger" is the name of the second 'suite' (Sleeping Village /
Warning). All editions of the album, except the original UK edition
and 2004 remaster, feature separate songs bridged together with these
titles added.
The original North American releases of the album had "Wicked World"
in place of "Evil Woman" due to conflicts over publishing rights.
Beginning with the first CD remaster in 1996, "Wicked World" has been
added as an extra song outside of North America.
The song "Warning" originally contained a guitar solo performed by
Tony Iommi that lasted over 30 minutes. While the album was being
produced, Rodger Bain cut the guitar solo down, feeling that it made
the album too long, and would confuse listeners. The original, uncut
version is listed as forthcoming on Sanctuary's remastered double-disc
of Black Sabbath.[citation needed]

Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and the largest of the
terrestrial planets in the Solar System in terms of diameter, mass and
density. It is also referred to as the World, Blue Planet,[note 3] and
Terra.[note 4]
Home to millions of species,[11] including humans, Earth is the only
place in the universe where life is known to exist. The planet formed
4.54 billion years ago,[12][13][14][15] and life appeared on its
surface within a billion years. Since then, Earth's biosphere has
significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on
the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as
the formation of the ozone layer which, together with Earth's magnetic
field, blocks harmful radiation, permitting life on land.[16] The
physical properties of the Earth, as well as its geological history
and orbit, allowed life to persist during this period. The world is
expected to continue supporting life for another 1.5 billion years,
after which the rising luminosity of the Sun will eliminate the
biosphere.[17]
Earth's outer surface is divided into several rigid segments, or
tectonic plates, that gradually migrate across the surface over
periods of many millions of years. About 71% of the surface is covered
with salt-water oceans, the remainder consisting of continents and
islands; liquid water, necessary for all known life, is not known to
exist on any other planet's surface.[note 5][note 6] Earth's interior
remains active, with a thick layer of relatively solid mantle, a
liquid outer core that generates a magnetic field, and a solid iron
inner core.
Earth interacts with other objects in outer space, including the Sun
and the Moon. At present, Earth orbits the Sun once for every roughly
366.26 times it rotates about its axis. This length of time is a
sidereal year, which is equal to 365.26 solar days.[note 7] The
Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.4° away from the perpendicular
to its orbital plane,[18] producing seasonal variations on the
planet's surface with a period of one tropical year (365.24 solar
days). Earth's only known natural satellite, the Moon, which began
orbiting it about 4.53 billion years ago, provides ocean tides,
stabilizes the axial tilt and gradually slows the planet's rotation.
Between approximately 4.1 and 3.8 billion years ago, asteroid impacts
during the Late Heavy Bombardment caused significant changes to the
surface environment.
Both the mineral resources of the planet, as well as the products of
the biosphere, contribute resources that are used to support a global
human population. The inhabitants are grouped into about 200
independent sovereign states, which interact through diplomacy,
travel, trade and military action. Human cultures have developed many
views of the planet, including personification as a deity, a belief in
a flat Earth or in Earth being the center of the universe, and a
modern perspective of the world as an integrated environment that
requires stewardship.

Chronology
Main article: History of the Earth
See also: Geological history of Earth
Scientists have been able to reconstruct detailed information about
the planet's past. The earliest dated solar system material is dated
to 4.5672 ± 0.0006 billion years ago,[19] and by 4.54 billion years
ago (within an uncertainty of 1%)[12][13][14][15] the Earth and the
other planets in the Solar System formed out of the solar nebula—a
disk-shaped mass of dust and gas left over from the formation of the
Sun. This assembly of the Earth through accretion was largely
completed within 10–20 million years.[20] Initially molten, the outer
layer of the planet Earth cooled to form a solid crust when water
began accumulating in the atmosphere. The Moon formed soon afterward,
most likely as the result of a Mars-sized object (sometimes called
Theia) with about 10% of the Earth's mass[21] impacting the Earth in a
glancing blow.[22] Some of this object's mass would have merged with
the Earth and a portion would have been ejected into space, but enough
material would have been sent into orbit to form the Moon.
Outgassing and volcanic activity produced the primordial atmosphere.
Condensing water vapor, augmented by ice and liquid water delivered by
asteroids and the larger proto-planets, comets, and trans-Neptunian
objects produced the oceans.[23] Two major models have been proposed
for the rate of continental growth:[24] steady growth to the present-
day[25] and rapid growth early in Earth history.[26] Current research
shows that the second option is most likely, with rapid initial growth
of continental crust[27] followed by a long-term steady continental
area.[28][29][30] On time scales lasting hundreds of millions of
years, the surface continually reshaped itself as continents formed
and broke up. The continents migrated across the surface, occasionally
combining to form a supercontinent. Roughly 750 million years ago
(Ma), one of the earliest known supercontinents, Rodinia, began to
break apart. The continents later recombined to form Pannotia, 600–540
Ma, then finally Pangaea, which broke apart 180 Ma.[31]
Evolution of life
Main article: Evolutionary history of life
At present, Earth provides the only example of an environment that can
sustain the evolution of life.[32] Highly energetic chemistry is
believed to have produced a self-replicating molecule around 4 billion
years ago, and half a billion years later the last common ancestor of
all life existed.[33] The development of photosynthesis allowed the
Sun's energy to be harvested directly by life forms; the resultant
oxygen accumulated in the atmosphere and formed in a layer of ozone (a
form of molecular oxygen [O3]) in the upper atmosphere. The
incorporation of smaller cells within larger ones resulted in the
development of complex cells called eukaryotes.[34] True multicellular
organisms formed as cells within colonies became increasingly
specialized. Aided by the absorption of harmful ultraviolet radiation
by the ozone layer, life colonized the surface of Earth.[35]
Since the 1960s, it has been hypothesized that severe glacial action
between 750 and 580 Ma, during the Neoproterozoic, covered much of the
planet in a sheet of ice. This hypothesis has been termed "Snowball
Earth", and is of particular interest because it preceded the Cambrian
explosion, when multicellular life forms began to proliferate.[36]
Following the Cambrian explosion, about 535 Ma, there have been five
mass extinctions.[37] The last extinction event was 65 Ma, when a
meteorite collision probably triggered the extinction of the (non-
avian) dinosaurs and other large reptiles, but spared small animals
such as mammals, which then resembled shrews. Over the past 65 million
years, mammalian life has diversified, and several million years ago,
an African ape-like animal gained the ability to stand upright.[38]
This enabled tool use and encouraged communication that provided the
nutrition and stimulation needed for a larger brain. The development
of agriculture, and then civilization, allowed humans to influence the
Earth in a short time span as no other life form had,[39] affecting
both the nature and quantity of other life forms.
The present pattern of ice ages began about 40 Ma and then intensified
during the Pleistocene about 3 Ma. The polar regions have since
undergone repeated cycles of glaciation and thaw, repeating every 40–
100,000 years. The last ice age ended 10,000 years ago.[40]
Future
See also: Risks to civilization, humans and planet Earth
The future of the planet is closely tied to that of the Sun. As a
result of the steady accumulation of helium at the Sun's core, the
star's total luminosity will slowly increase. The luminosity of the
Sun will grow by 10 percent over the next 1.1 Gyr (1.1 billion years)
and by 40% over the next 3.5 Gyr.[41] Climate models indicate that the
rise in radiation reaching the Earth is likely to have dire
consequences, including the possible loss of the planet's oceans.[42]
The Earth's increasing surface temperature will accelerate the
inorganic CO2 cycle, reducing its concentration to the lethal levels
for plants (10 ppm for C4 photosynthesis) in 900 million years. The
lack of vegetation will result in the loss of oxygen in the
atmosphere, so animal life will become extinct within several million
more years.[43] But even if the Sun were eternal and stable, the
continued internal cooling of the Earth would have resulted in a loss
of much of its atmosphere and oceans due to reduced volcanism.[44]
After another billion years all surface water will have disappeared
[17] and the mean global temperature will reach 70 °C.[43] The Earth
is expected to be effectively habitable for about another 500 million
years.[45]
The Sun, as part of its evolution, will become a red giant in about 5
Gyr. Models predict that the Sun will expand out to about 250 times
its present radius, roughly 1 AU (150,000,000 km).[41][46] Earth's
fate is less clear. As a red giant, the Sun will lose roughly 30% of
its mass, so, without tidal effects, the Earth will move to an orbit
1.7 AU (250,000,000 km) from the Sun when the star reaches it maximum
radius. Therefore, the planet is expected to escape envelopment by the
expanded Sun's sparse outer atmosphere, though most, if not all,
remaining life will be destroyed because of the Sun's increased
luminosity.[41] However, a more recent simulation indicates that
Earth's orbit will decay due to tidal effects and drag, causing it to
enter the red giant Sun's atmosphere and be destroyed.[46]
Composition and structure
Main article: Earth science
Further information: Earth physical characteristics tables
Earth is a terrestrial planet, meaning that it is a rocky body, rather
than a gas giant like Jupiter. It is the largest of the four solar
terrestrial planets, both in terms of size and mass. Of these four
planets, Earth also has the highest density, the highest surface
gravity, the strongest magnetic field, and fastest rotation.[47] It
also is the only terrestrial planet with active plate tectonics.[48]
Shape
Main article: Figure of the Earth
Size comparison of inner planets (left to right): Mercury, Venus,
Earth and MarsThe shape of the Earth is very close to that of an
oblate spheroid, a sphere squished along the orientation from pole to
pole such that there is a bulge around the equator.[49] This bulge
results from the rotation of the Earth, and causes the diameter at the
equator to be 43 km larger than the pole to pole diameter.[50] The
average diameter of the reference spheroid is about 12,742 km, which
is approximately 40,000 km/π, as the meter was originally defined as
1/10,000,000 of the distance from the equator to the North Pole
through Paris, France.[51]
Local topography deviates from this idealized spheroid, though on a
global scale, these deviations are very small: Earth has a tolerance
of about one part in about 584, or 0.17%, from the reference spheroid,
which is less than the 0.22% tolerance allowed in billiard balls.[52]
The largest local deviations in the rocky surface of the Earth are
Mount Everest (8,848 m above local sea level) and the Mariana Trench
(10,911 m below local sea level). Because of the equatorial bulge, the
feature farthest from the center of the Earth is actually Mount
Chimborazo in Ecuador.[53][54]

Chemical composition
See also: Abundance of elements on Earth
The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.98 × 1024 kg. It is composed
mostly of iron (32.1%), oxygen (30.1%), silicon (15.1%), magnesium
(13.9%), sulfur (2.9%), nickel (1.8%), calcium (1.5%), and aluminium
(1.4%); with the remaining 1.2% consisting of trace amounts of other
elements. Due to mass segregation, the core region is believed to be
primarily composed of iron (88.8%), with smaller amounts of nickel
(5.8%), sulfur (4.5%), and less than 1% trace elements.[55]
The geochemist F. W. Clarke calculated that a little more than 47% of
the Earth's crust consists of oxygen. The more common rock
constituents of the Earth's crust are nearly all oxides; chlorine,
sulfur and fluorine are the only important exceptions to this and
their total amount in any rock is usually much less than 1%. The
principal oxides are silica, alumina, iron oxides, lime, magnesia,
potash and soda. The silica functions principally as an acid, forming
silicates, and all the commonest minerals of igneous rocks are of this
nature. From a computation based on 1,672 analyses of all kinds of
rocks, Clarke deduced that 99.22% were composed of 11 oxides (see the
table at right.) All the other constituents occur only in very small
quantities.[note 8]
Internal structure
Main article: Structure of the Earth
The interior of the Earth, like that of the other terrestrial planets,
is divided into layers by their chemical or physical (rheological)
properties. The outer layer of the Earth is a chemically distinct
silicate solid crust, which is underlain by a highly viscous solid
mantle. The crust is separated from the mantle by the Mohorovičić
discontinuity, and the thickness of the crust varies: averaging 6 km
under the oceans and 30–50 km on the continents. The crust and the
cold, rigid, top of the upper mantle are collectively known as the
lithosphere, and it is of the lithosphere that the tectonic plates are
comprised. Beneath the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, a relatively
low-viscosity layer on which the lithosphere rides. Important changes
in crystal structure within the mantle occur at 410 and 660 kilometers
below the surface, spanning a transition zone that separates the upper
and lower mantle. Beneath the mantle, an extremely low viscosity
liquid outer core lies above a solid inner core.[56] The inner core
may rotate at a slightly higher angular velocity than the remainder of
the planet, advancing by 0.1–0.5° per year.[57]

Heat
Earth's internal heat comes from a combination of residual heat from
planetary accretion (about 20%) and heat produced through radioactive
decay (80%).[60] The major heat-producing isotopes in the Earth are
potassium-40, uranium-238, uranium-235, and thorium-232.[61] At the
center of the planet, the temperature may be up to 7,000 K and the
pressure could reach 360 GPa.[62] Because much of the heat is provided
by radioactive decay, scientists believe that early in Earth history,
before isotopes with short half-lives had been depleted, Earth's heat
production would have been much higher. This extra heat production,
twice present-day at approximately 3 billion years ago,[60] would have
increased temperature gradients within the Earth, increasing the rates
of mantle convection and plate tectonics, and allowing the production
of igneous rocks such as komatiites that are not formed today.[63]

Total heat loss from the earth is 4.2 × 1013 Watts.[65] A portion of
the core's thermal energy is transported toward the crust by Mantle
plumes; a form of convection consisting of upwellings of higher-
temperature rock. These plumes can produce hotspots and flood basalts.
[66] More of the heat in the Earth is lost through plate tectonics, by
mantle upwelling associated with mid-ocean ridges. The final major
mode of heat loss is through conduction through the lithosphere,
majority of which occurs in the oceans due to the crust there being
much thinner than that of the continents.[65]

Main article: Plate tectonics
The mechanically rigid outer layer of the Earth, the lithosphere, is
broken into pieces called tectonic plates. These plates are rigid
segments that move in relation to one another at one of three types of
plate boundaries: Convergent boundaries, at which two plates come
together, Divergent boundaries, at which two plates are pulled apart,
and Transform boundaries, in which two plates slide past one another
laterally. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and
oceanic trench formation can occur along these plate boundaries.[68]
The tectonic plates ride on top of the asthenosphere, the solid but
less-viscous part of the upper mantle that can flow and move along
with the plates,[69] and their motion is strongly coupled with
patterns convection inside the Earth's mantle.
As the tectonic plates migrate across the planet, the ocean floor is
subducted under the leading edges of the plates at convergent
boundaries. At the same time, the upwelling of mantle material at
divergent boundaries creates mid-ocean ridges. The combination of
these processes continually recycles the oceanic crust back into the
mantle. Because of this recycling, most of the ocean floor is less
than 100 million years in age. The oldest oceanic crust is located in
the Western Pacific, and has an estimated age of about 200 million
years.[70][71] By comparison, the oldest dated continental crust is
4030 million years old.[72]
Other notable plates include the Indian Plate, the Arabian Plate, the
Caribbean Plate, the Nazca Plate off the west coast of South America
and the Scotia Plate in the southern Atlantic Ocean. The Australian
Plate actually fused with Indian Plate between 50 and 55 million years
ago. The fastest-moving plates are the oceanic plates, with the Cocos
Plate advancing at a rate of 75 mm/yr[73] and the Pacific Plate moving
52–69 mm/yr. At the other extreme, the slowest-moving plate is the
Eurasian Plate, progressing at a typical rate of about 21 mm/yr.[74]
Surface
Main articles: Landform and Extreme points of Earth
The Earth's terrain varies greatly from place to place. About
70.8%[75] of the surface is covered by water, with much of the
continental shelf below sea level. The submerged surface has
mountainous features, including a globe-spanning mid-ocean ridge
system, as well as undersea volcanoes,[50] oceanic trenches, submarine
canyons, oceanic plateaus and abyssal plains. The remaining 29.2% not
covered by water consists of mountains, deserts, plains, plateaus, and
other geomorphologies.
The planetary surface undergoes reshaping over geological time periods
due to the effects of tectonics and erosion. The surface features
built up or deformed through plate tectonics are subject to steady
weathering from precipitation, thermal cycles, and chemical effects.
Glaciation, coastal erosion, the build-up of coral reefs, and large
meteorite impacts[76] also act to reshape the landscape.
Present day Earth altimetry and bathymetry. Data from the National
Geophysical Data Center's TerrainBase Digital Terrain Model.The
continental crust consists of lower density material such as the
igneous rocks granite and andesite. Less common is basalt, a denser
volcanic rock that is the primary constituent of the ocean floors.[77]
Sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation of sediment that
becomes compacted together. Nearly 75% of the continental surfaces are
covered by sedimentary rocks, although they form only about 5% of the
crust.[78] The third form of rock material found on Earth is
metamorphic rock, which is created from the transformation of pre-
existing rock types through high pressures, high temperatures, or
both. The most abundant silicate minerals on the Earth's surface
include quartz, the feldspars, amphibole, mica, pyroxene and olivine.
[79] Common carbonate minerals include calcite (found in limestone),
aragonite and dolomite.[80]
The pedosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth that is composed of
soil and subject to soil formation processes. It exists at the
interface of the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere.
Currently the total arable land is 13.31% of the land surface, with
only 4.71% supporting permanent crops.[7] Close to 40% of the Earth's
land surface is presently used for cropland and pasture, or an
estimated 1.3 × 107 km² of cropland and 3.4 × 107 km² of pastureland.
[81]
The elevation of the land surface of the Earth varies from the low
point of −418 m at the Dead Sea, to a 2005-estimated maximum altitude
of 8,848 m at the top of Mount Everest. The mean height of land above
sea level is 840 m.[82]
Hydrosphere
Main article: Hydrosphere
Elevation histogram of the surface of the Earth. Approximately 71% of
the Earth's surface is covered with water.The abundance of water on
Earth's surface is a unique feature that distinguishes the "Blue
Planet" from others in the Solar System. The Earth's hydrosphere
consists chiefly of the oceans, but technically includes all water
surfaces in the world, including inland seas, lakes, rivers, and
underground waters down to a depth of 2,000 m. The deepest underwater
location is Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean
with a depth of −10,911.4 m.[note 12][83] The average depth of the
oceans is 3,800 m, more than four times the average height of the
continents.[82]
The mass of the oceans is approximately 1.35 × 1018 metric tons, or
about 1/4400 of the total mass of the Earth, and occupies a volume of
1.386 × 109 km3. If all of the land on Earth were spread evenly, water
would rise to an altitude of more than 2.7 km.[note 13] About 97.5% of
the water is saline, while the remaining 2.5% is fresh water. The
majority of the fresh water, about 68.7%, is currently in the form of
ice.[84]
About 3.5% of the total mass of the oceans consists of salt. Most of
this salt was released from volcanic activity or extracted from cool,
igneous rocks.[85] The oceans are also a reservoir of dissolved
atmospheric gases, which are essential for the survival of many
aquatic life forms.[86] Sea water has an important influence on the
world's climate, with the oceans acting as a large heat reservoir.[87]
Shifts in the oceanic temperature distribution can cause significant
weather shifts, such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation.[88]
Atmosphere
Main article: Earth's atmosphere
The atmospheric pressure on the surface of the Earth averages 101.325
kPa, with a scale height of about 8.5 km.[8] It is 78% nitrogen and
21% oxygen, with trace amounts of water vapor, carbon dioxide and
other gaseous molecules. The height of the troposphere varies with
latitude, ranging between 8 km at the poles to 17 km at the equator,
with some variation due to weather and seasonal factors.[89]
Earth's biosphere has significantly altered its atmosphere. Oxygenic
photosynthesis evolved 2.7 billion years ago, forming the primarily
nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere that exists today. This change enabled the
proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the
ozone layer which, together with Earth's magnetic field, blocks
ultraviolet solar radiation, permitting life on land. Other
atmospheric functions important to life on Earth include transporting
water vapor, providing useful gases, causing small meteors to burn up
before they strike the surface, and moderating temperature.[90] This
last phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect: trace molecules
within the atmosphere serve to capture thermal energy emitted from the
ground, thereby raising the average temperature. Carbon dioxide, water
vapor, methane and ozone are the primary greenhouse gases in the
Earth's atmosphere. Without this heat-retention effect, the average
surface temperature would be −18 °C and life would likely not exist.
[75]
Weather and climate
Main articles: Weather and Climate
The Earth's atmosphere has no definite boundary, slowly becoming
thinner and fading into outer space. Three-quarters of the
atmosphere's mass is contained within the first 11 km of the planet's
surface. This lowest layer is called the troposphere. Energy from the
Sun heats this layer, and the surface below, causing expansion of the
air. This lower density air then rises, and is replaced by cooler,
higher density air. The result is atmospheric circulation that drives
the weather and climate through redistribution of heat energy.[91]
The primary atmospheric circulation bands consist of the trade winds
in the equatorial region below 30° latitude and the westerlies in the
mid-latitudes between 30° and 60°.[92] Ocean currents are also
important factors in determining climate, particularly the
thermohaline circulation that distributes heat energy from the
equatorial oceans to the polar regions.[93]
Source regions of global air massesWater vapor generated through
surface evaporation is transported by circulatory patterns in the
atmosphere. When atmospheric conditions permit an uplift of warm,
humid air, this water condenses and settles to the surface as
precipitation.[91] Most of the water is then transported back to lower
elevations by river systems, usually returning to the oceans or being
deposited into lakes. This water cycle is a vital mechanism for
supporting life on land, and is a primary factor in the erosion of
surface features over geological periods. Precipitation patterns vary
widely, ranging from several meters of water per year to less than a
millimeter. Atmospheric circulation, topological features and
temperature differences determine the average precipitation that falls
in each region.[94]
The Earth can be sub-divided into specific latitudinal belts of
approximately homogeneous climate. Ranging from the equator to the
polar regions, these are the tropical (or equatorial), subtropical,
temperate and polar climates.[95] Climate can also be classified based
on the temperature and precipitation, with the climate regions
characterized by fairly uniform air masses. The commonly used Köppen
climate classification system (as modified by Wladimir Köppen's
student Rudolph Geiger) has five broad groups (humid tropics, arid,
humid middle latitudes, continental and cold polar), which are further
divided into more specific subtypes.[92]
Upper atmosphere
This view from orbit shows the full Moon partially obscured by the
Earth's atmosphere. NASA image.See also: Outer space
Above the troposphere, the atmosphere is usually divided into the
stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere.[90] Each of these layers
has a different lapse rate, defining the rate of change in temperature
with height. Beyond these, the exosphere thins out into the
magnetosphere. This is where the Earth's magnetic fields interact with
the solar wind.[96] An important part of the atmosphere for life on
Earth is the ozone layer, a component of the stratosphere that
partially shields the surface from ultraviolet light. The Kármán line,
defined as 100 km above the Earth's surface, is a working definition
for the boundary between atmosphere and space.[97]
Due to thermal energy, some of the molecules at the outer edge of the
Earth's atmosphere have their velocity increased to the point where
they can escape from the planet's gravity. This results in a slow but
steady leakage of the atmosphere into space. Because unfixed hydrogen
has a low molecular weight, it can achieve escape velocity more
readily and it leaks into outer space at a greater rate than other
gasses.[98] The leakage of hydrogen into space is a contributing
factor in pushing the Earth from an initially reducing state to its
current oxidizing one. Photosynthesis provided a source of free
oxygen, but the loss of reducing agents such as hydrogen is believed
to have been a necessary precondition for the widespread accumulation
of oxygen in the atmosphere.[99] Hence the ability of hydrogen to
escape from the Earth's atmosphere may have influenced the nature of
life that developed on the planet.[100] In the current, oxygen-rich
atmosphere most hydrogen is converted into water before it has an
opportunity to escape. Instead, most of the hydrogen loss comes from
the destruction of methane in the upper atmosphere.[101]
Magnetic field
The Earth's magnetic field, which approximates a dipole.Main article:
Earth's magnetic field
The Earth's magnetic field is shaped roughly as a magnetic dipole,
with the poles currently located proximate to the planet's geographic
poles. According to dynamo theory, the field is generated within the
molten outer core region where heat creates convection motions of
conducting materials, generating electric currents. These in turn
produce the Earth's magnetic field. The convection movements in the
core are chaotic in nature, and periodically change alignment. This
results in field reversals at irregular intervals averaging a few
times every million years. The most recent reversal occurred
approximately 700,000 years ago.[102][103]
The field forms the magnetosphere, which deflects particles in the
solar wind. The sunward edge of the bow shock is located at about 13
times the radius of the Earth. The collision between the magnetic
field and the solar wind forms the Van Allen radiation belts, a pair
of concentric, torus-shaped regions of energetic charged particles.
When the plasma enters the Earth's atmosphere at the magnetic poles,
it forms the aurora.[104]
Orbit and rotation
Rotation
Main article: Earth's rotation
Earth's axial tilt (or obliquity) and its relation to the rotation
axis and plane of orbit.Earth's rotation period relative to the Sun—
its mean solar day—is 86,400 seconds of mean solar time. Each of these
seconds is slightly longer than an SI second because Earth's solar day
is now slightly longer than it was during the 19th century due to
tidal acceleration.[105]
Earth's rotation period relative to the fixed stars, called its
stellar day by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems
Service (IERS), is 86164.098903691 seconds of mean solar time (UT1),
or 23h 56m 4.098903691s. [106][note 14] Earth's rotation period
relative to the precessing or moving mean vernal equinox, misnamed its
sidereal day, is 86164.09053083288 seconds of mean solar time (UT1)
(23h 56m 4.09053083288s).[106] Thus the sidereal day is shorter than
the stellar day by about 8.4 ms.[107] The length of the mean solar day
in SI seconds is available from the IERS for the periods 1623–2005
[108] and 1962–2005.[109]
Apart from meteors within the atmosphere and low-orbiting satellites,
the main apparent motion of celestial bodies in the Earth's sky is to
the west at a rate of 15°/h = 15'/min. This is equivalent to an
apparent diameter of the Sun or Moon every two minutes; the apparent
sizes of the Sun and the Moon are approximately the same.[110][111]
Orbit
Main article: Earth's orbit
Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 150 million
kilometers every 365.2564 mean solar days, or one sidereal year. From
Earth, this gives an apparent movement of the Sun eastward with
respect to the stars at a rate of about 1°/day, or a Sun or Moon
diameter every 12 hours. Because of this motion, on average it takes
24 hours—a solar day—for Earth to complete a full rotation about its
axis so that the Sun returns to the meridian. The orbital speed of the
Earth averages about 30 km/s (108,000 km/h), which is fast enough to
cover the planet's diameter (about 12,600 km) in seven minutes, and
the distance to the Moon (384,000 km) in four hours.[8]
The Moon revolves with the Earth around a common barycenter every
27.32 days relative to the background stars. When combined with the
Earth–Moon system's common revolution around the Sun, the period of
the synodic month, from new moon to new moon, is 29.53 days. Viewed
from the celestial north pole, the motion of Earth, the Moon and their
axial rotations are all counter-clockwise. Viewed from a vantage point
above the north poles of both the Sun and the Earth, the Earth appears
to revolve in a counterclockwise direction about the Sun. The orbital
and axial planes are not precisely aligned: Earth's axis is tilted
some 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the Earth–Sun plane, and
the Earth–Moon plane is tilted about 5 degrees against the Earth-Sun
plane. Without this tilt, there would be an eclipse every two weeks,
alternating between lunar eclipses and solar eclipses.[8][112]
The Hill sphere, or gravitational sphere of influence, of the Earth is
about 1.5 Gm (or 1,500,000 kilometers) in radius.[113][note 15] This
is maximum distance at which the Earth's gravitational influence is
stronger than the more distant Sun and planets. Objects must orbit the
Earth within this radius, or they can become unbound by the
gravitational perturbation of the Sun.
Illustration of the Milky Way Galaxy, showing the location of the
Sun.Earth, along with the Solar System, is situated in the Milky Way
galaxy, orbiting about 28,000 light years from the center of the
galaxy. It is currently about 20 light years above the galaxy's
equatorial plane in the Orion spiral arm.[114]
Axial tilt and seasons
Main article: Axial tilt
Because of the axial tilt of the Earth, the amount of sunlight
reaching any given point on the surface varies over the course of the
year. This results in seasonal change in climate, with summer in the
northern hemisphere occurring when the North Pole is pointing toward
the Sun, and winter taking place when the pole is pointed away. During
the summer, the day lasts longer and the Sun climbs higher in the sky.
In winter, the climate becomes generally cooler and the days shorter.
Above the Arctic Circle, an extreme case is reached where there is no
daylight at all for part of the year—a polar night. In the southern
hemisphere the situation is exactly reversed, with the South Pole
oriented opposite the direction of the North Pole.
Earth and Moon from Mars, imaged by Mars Global Surveyor. From space,
the Earth can be seen to go through phases similar to the phases of
the Moon.By astronomical convention, the four seasons are determined
by the solstices—the point in the orbit of maximum axial tilt toward
or away from the Sun—and the equinoxes, when the direction of the tilt
and the direction to the Sun are perpendicular. Winter solstice occurs
on about December 21, summer solstice is near June 21, spring equinox
is around March 20 and autumnal equinox is about September 23.[115]
The angle of the Earth's tilt is relatively stable over long periods
of time. However, the tilt does undergo nutation; a slight, irregular
motion with a main period of 18.6 years. The orientation (rather than
the angle) of the Earth's axis also changes over time, precessing
around in a complete circle over each 25,800 year cycle; this
precession is the reason for the difference between a sidereal year
and a tropical year. Both of these motions are caused by the varying
attraction of the Sun and Moon on the Earth's equatorial bulge. From
the perspective of the Earth, the poles also migrate a few meters
across the surface. This polar motion has multiple, cyclical
components, which collectively are termed quasiperiodic motion. In
addition to an annual component to this motion, there is a 14-month
cycle called the Chandler wobble. The rotational velocity of the Earth
also varies in a phenomenon known as length of day variation.[116]
In modern times, Earth's perihelion occurs around January 3, and the
aphelion around July 4. However, these dates change over time due to
precession and other orbital factors, which follow cyclical patterns
known as Milankovitch cycles. The changing Earth-Sun distance results
in an increase of about 6.9%[117] in solar energy reaching the Earth
at perihelion relative to aphelion. Since the southern hemisphere is
tilted toward the Sun at about the same time that the Earth reaches
the closest approach to the Sun, the southern hemisphere receives
slightly more energy from the Sun than does the northern over the
course of a year. However, this effect is much less significant than
the total energy change due to the axial tilt, and most of the excess
energy is absorbed by the higher proportion of water in the southern
hemisphere.[118]

Main article: Moon
The Moon is a relatively large, terrestrial, planet-like satellite,
with a diameter about one-quarter of the Earth's. It is the largest
moon in the Solar System relative to the size of its planet. (Charon
is larger relative to the dwarf planet Pluto.) The natural satellites
orbiting other planets are called "moons" after Earth's Moon.
The gravitational attraction between the Earth and Moon causes tides
on Earth. The same effect on the Moon has led to its tidal locking:
its rotation period is the same as the time it takes to orbit the
Earth. As a result, it always presents the same face to the planet. As
the Moon orbits Earth, different parts of its face are illuminated by
the Sun, leading to the lunar phases; the dark part of the face is
separated from the light part by the solar terminator.
Because of their tidal interaction, the Moon recedes from Earth at the
rate of approximately 38 mm a year. Over millions of years, these tiny
modifications—and the lengthening of Earth's day by about 23 µs a year—
add up to significant changes.[119] During the Devonian period, for
example, (approximately 410 million years ago) there were 400 days in
a year, with each day lasting 21.8 hours.[120]
The Moon may have dramatically affected the development of life by
moderating the planet's climate. Paleontological evidence and computer
simulations show that Earth's axial tilt is stabilized by tidal
interactions with the Moon.[121] Some theorists believe that without
this stabilization against the torques applied by the Sun and planets
to the Earth's equatorial bulge, the rotational axis might be
chaotically unstable, exhibiting chaotic changes over millions of
years, as appears to be the case for Mars.[122] If Earth's axis of
rotation were to approach the plane of the ecliptic, extremely severe
weather could result from the resulting extreme seasonal differences.
One pole would be pointed directly toward the Sun during summer and
directly away during winter. Planetary scientists who have studied the
effect claim that this might kill all large animal and higher plant
life.[123] However, this is a controversial subject, and further
studies of Mars—which has a similar rotation period and axial tilt as
Earth, but not its large Moon or liquid core—may settle the matter.
Viewed from Earth, the Moon is just far enough away to have very
nearly the same apparent-sized disk as the Sun. The angular size (or
solid angle) of these two bodies match because, although the Sun's
diameter is about 400 times as large as the Moon's, it is also 400
times more distant.[111] This allows total and annular eclipses to
occur on Earth.
A scale representation of the relative sizes of, and distance between,
Earth and Moon.
The most widely accepted theory of the Moon's origin, the giant impact
theory, states that it formed from the collision of a Mars-size
protoplanet called Theia with the early Earth. This hypothesis
explains (among other things) the Moon's relative lack of iron and
volatile elements, and the fact that its composition is nearly
identical to that of the Earth's crust.[124]
Earth has at least two co-orbital asteroids, 3753 Cruithne and 2002
AA29.[125]
Habitability
See also: Planetary habitability
A range of theoretical habitable zones with stars of different mass
(our solar system at center). Not to scale.A planet that can sustain
life is termed habitable, even if life did not originate there. The
Earth provides the (currently understood) requisite conditions of
liquid water, an environment where complex organic molecules can
assemble, and sufficient energy to sustain metabolism.[126] The
distance of the Earth from the Sun, as well as its orbital
eccentricity, rate of rotation, axial tilt, geological history,
sustaining atmosphere and protective magnetic field all contribute to
the conditions necessary to originate and sustain life on this planet.
[127]
Biosphere
Main article: Biosphere
The planet's life forms are sometimes said to form a "biosphere". This
biosphere is generally believed to have begun evolving about 3.5
billion years ago. Earth is the only place in the universe where life
is known to exist. Some scientists believe that Earth-like biospheres
might be rare.[128]
The biosphere is divided into a number of biomes, inhabited by broadly
similar plants and animals. On land primarily latitude and height
above the sea level separates biomes. Terrestrial biomes lying within
the Arctic, Antarctic Circle or in high altitudes are relatively
barren of plant and animal life, while the greatest latitudinal
diversity of species is found at the Equator.[129]
Natural resources and land use
Main article: Natural resource
The Earth provides resources that are exploitable by humans for useful
purposes. Some of these are non-renewable resources, such as mineral
fuels, that are difficult to replenish on a short time scale.
Large deposits of fossil fuels are obtained from the Earth's crust,
consisting of coal, petroleum, natural gas and methane clathrate.
These deposits are used by humans both for energy production and as
feedstock for chemical production. Mineral ore bodies have also been
formed in Earth's crust through a process of Ore genesis, resulting
from actions of erosion and plate tectonics.[130] These bodies form
concentrated sources for many metals and other useful elements.
The Earth's biosphere produces many useful biological products for
humans, including (but far from limited to) food, wood,
pharmaceuticals, oxygen, and the recycling of many organic wastes. The
land-based ecosystem depends upon topsoil and fresh water, and the
oceanic ecosystem depends upon dissolved nutrients washed down from
the land.[131] Humans also live on the land by using building
materials to construct shelters. In 1993, human use of land is
approximately:
Land use Percentage
Arable land: 13.13%[7]
Permanent crops: 4.71%[7]
Permanent pastures: 26%
Forests and woodland: 32%
Urban areas: 1.5%
Other: 30%
The estimated amount of irrigated land in 1993 was 2,481,250 km².[7]
Natural and environmental hazards
Large areas are subject to extreme weather such as tropical cyclones,
hurricanes, or typhoons that dominate life in those areas. Many places
are subject to earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions,
tornadoes, sinkholes, blizzards, floods, droughts, and other
calamities and disasters.
Many localized areas are subject to human-made pollution of the air
and water, acid rain and toxic substances, loss of vegetation
(overgrazing, deforestation, desertification), loss of wildlife,
species extinction, soil degradation, soil depletion, erosion, and
introduction of invasive species.
A scientific consensus exists linking human activities to global
warming due to industrial carbon dioxide emissions. This is predicted
to produce changes such as the melting of glaciers and ice sheets,
more extreme temperature ranges, significant changes in weather
conditions and a global rise in average sea levels.[132]
Human geography
Main article: Human geography
See also: World
Cartography, the study and practice of map making, and vicariously
geography, have historically been the disciplines devoted to depicting
the Earth. Surveying, the determination of locations and distances,
and to a lesser extent navigation, the determination of position and
direction, have developed alongside cartography and geography,
providing and suitably quantifying the requisite information.
Earth has approximately 6,740,000,000 human inhabitants as of November
2008.[133] Projections indicate that the world's human population will
reach seven billion in 2013 and 9.2 billion in 2050.[134] Most of the
growth is expected to take place in developing nations. Human
population density varies widely around the world, but a majority live
in Asia. By 2020, 60% of the world's population is expected to be
living in urban, rather than rural, areas.[135]
It is estimated that only one eighth of the surface of the Earth is
suitable for humans to live on—three-quarters is covered by oceans,
and half of the land area is either desert (14%),[136] high mountains
(27%),[137] or other less suitable terrain. The northernmost permanent
settlement in the world is Alert, on Ellesmere Island in Nunavut,
Canada.[138] (82°28′N) The southernmost is the Amundsen-Scott South
Pole Station, in Antarctica, almost exactly at the South Pole. (90°S)

As of 2007 there are 201 sovereign states, including the 192 United
Nations member states. In addition, there are 59 dependent
territories, and a number of autonomous areas, territories under
dispute and other entities.[7] Historically, Earth has never had a
sovereign government with authority over the entire globe, although a
number of nation-states have striven for world domination and failed.
[139]
The United Nations is a worldwide intergovernmental organization that
was created with the goal of intervening in the disputes between
nations, thereby avoiding armed conflict.[140] It is not, however, a
world government. While the U.N. provides a mechanism for
international law and, when the consensus of the membership permits,
armed intervention,[141] it serves primarily as a forum for
international diplomacy.
The first human to orbit the Earth was Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961.
[142] In total, about 400 people visited outer space and reached Earth
orbit as of 2004, and, of these, twelve have walked on the Moon.[143]
[144][145] Normally the only humans in space are those on the
International Space Station. The station's crew, currently six people,
is usually replaced every six months.[146] Humans traveled the
farthest from the planet in 1970, when Apollo 13 crew was 400,171 km
away from Earth.[147][148]
Cultural viewpoint
Main article: Earth in culture
The first photograph ever taken by astronauts of an "Earthrise", from
Apollo 8The name "Earth" was derived from the Anglo-Saxon word erda,
which means ground or soil. It became eorthe in Old English, then
erthe in Middle English.[149] The standard astronomical symbol of the
Earth consists of a cross circumscribed by a circle.[150]
Earth has often been personified as a deity, in particular a goddess.
In many cultures the mother goddess, also called the Mother Earth, is
also portrayed as a fertility deity. Creation myths in many religions
recall a story involving the creation of the Earth by a supernatural
deity or deities. A variety of religious groups, often associated with
fundamentalist branches of Protestantism[151] or Islam,[152] assert
that their interpretations of these creation myths in sacred texts are
literal truth and should be considered alongside or replace
conventional scientific accounts of the formation of the Earth and the
origin and development of life.[153] Such assertions are opposed by
the scientific community[154][155] and other religious groups.[156]
[157][158] A prominent example is the creation-evolution controversy.
In the past there were varying levels of belief in a flat Earth,[159]
but this was displaced by the concept of a spherical Earth due to
observation and circumnavigation.[160] The human perspective regarding
the Earth has changed following the advent of spaceflight, and the
biosphere is now widely viewed from a globally integrated perspective.
[161][162] This is reflected in a growing environmental movement that
is concerned about humankind's effects on the planet.[163

Greenpeace protest against Esso / Exxon Mobil.Greenpeace is a non-
governmental organization for the protection and conservation of the
environment. Greenpeace uses direct action, lobbying and research to
achieve its goals. Greenpeace has a worldwide presence with national
and regional offices in 46 countries, which are affiliated to the
Amsterdam-based Greenpeace International. The global organization
receives its income through the individual contributions of an
estimated 3 million financial supporters.
Greenpeace, originally known as the Greenpeace Foundation, was founded
in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1971. On September 15, 1971, the
Don't Make a Wave Committee sent an eighty foot halibut seiner
“Phyllis Cormack”, from Vancouver, to oppose the United States testing
nuclear devices in Amchitka, Alaska.[1] While the boat never reached
its destination and was turned back by the US military, this campaign
was deemed the first using the name Greenpeace.[2][3]
In 1972, the Greenpeace Foundation evolved in its own right to a less
conservative and structured collective of environmentalists who were
more reflective of the counterculture and hippie youth movements of
the 1960s and 1970s. The social and cultural background from which
Greenpeace emerged heralded a period of de-conditioning away from old
world antecedents and sought to develop new codes of social,
environmental and political behavior.[4][5][6]
The focus of the organization later turned from anti-nuclear protest
to other environmental issues: whaling, bottom trawling, global
warming, old growth, nuclear power, and genetically modified
organisms.
On its official website, Greenpeace defines its mission as the
following:
“ Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organisation that
acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the
environment and to promote peace by:
Catalysing an energy revolution to address the number one threat
facing our planet: climate change.
Defending our oceans by challenging wasteful and destructive fishing,
and creating a global network of marine reserves.
Protecting the world’s remaining ancient forests which are depended on
by many animals, plants and people .
Working for disarmament and peace by reducing dependence on finite
resources and calling for the elimination of all nuclear weapons.
Creating a toxic free future with safer alternatives to hazardous
chemicals in today's products and manufacturing.
Campaigning for sustainable agriculture by encouraging socially and
ecologically responsible farming practices.
”

[edit] Structure
Greenpeace's regional and national offices.Greenpeace as an
environmental organization with a global presence, has 28 offices in
different regions in the United States, and 42 regions worldwide.
These national and regional offices are largely autonomous in carrying
out jointly agreed global campaign strategies within the local context
they operate in and in seeking the necessary financial support from
donors to fund this work.[7] National and regional offices support a
network of volunteer-run local groups. Local groups participate in
many campaigns in their area and mobilize for larger protests and
activities elsewhere. Millions of supporters who are not organized
into local groups support Greenpeace by making financial donations and
participating in campaigns as citizens and consumers.

[edit] Priorities and campaigns
Greenpeace runs campaigns and projects which fit into the "Issues" (as
campaign areas are called within Greenpeace) categories below. Besides
exposing problems such as over-fishing or threats linked to nuclear
power, such as harmful radiation and proliferation, Greenpeace
campaigns for alternative solutions such as marine reserves and
renewable energy.
The organization currently addresses many and varied environmental
issues with a primary focus on efforts to stop global warming and the
preservation of the world's oceans and ancient forests. In addition to
conventional environmental organization methods, such as lobbying
businesses and politicians and participating in international
conferences, Greenpeace uses direct action to attract attention to
particular environmental problems.
For example, activists place themselves between the whaler's harpoons
and their prey or invade nuclear facilities dressed as barrels of
radioactive waste. Currently Greenpeace is in the midst of a campaign
called Project Hot Seat, which is geared toward placing pressure on
the United States Congress to stop global warming. Other initiatives
include the development of a fuel-efficient car, the SmILE.
[edit] Current priorities
Below is a list of Greenpeace's current priorities:
Tackling human-induced climate change (global warming)
Preserving the oceans (including stopping whaling and bottom
trawling)
Saving ancient forests (see deforestation, Intact forest landscapes)
Peace and nuclear disarmament
Promoting sustainable agriculture (and opposing genetic engineering)
Eliminating toxic chemicals (including from E-waste), many of which
are carcinogens
[edit] Solar Electricity
The EPIA/Greenpeace Advanced Scenario shows that by the year 2030,
Photovoltaic systems could be generating approximately 2,600 TWh of
electricity around the world. This means that, assuming a serious
commitment is made to energy efficiency, enough solar power would be
produced globally in twenty-five years’ time to satisfy the
electricity needs of almost 14% of the world’s population.[8]
[edit] Fossil fuels phase-out
Main article: Fossil fuel phase out
In the Greenpeace and EREC´s Energy (R)evolution scenario, the world
could eliminate fossil fuel use by 2090.[9][10][11]
[edit] Think tanks
Think tanks, under the Greenpeace umbrella, propose blueprints for the
world's transition to renewable energy. The focus is to reduce carbon
emissions without compromising on economic growth. The Solar
Generation project,[12] conceived in 2000 by Greenpeace and the
European Photo- voltaic Industry Association (EPIA), addresses major
energy challenges facing the global society and charts out the solar
energy remedies until 2050. Greenpeace think tanks also focus on
individual nation's energy scenarios. For example, Greenpeace has
published scenarios where renewable resources like solar can become
the backbone of the economies of developing countries like India, by
2050.[13][14]
[edit] History
[edit] Origins
The origins of Greenpeace lie in the peace movement and the Campaign
for Nuclear Disarmament generally, and particularly in the Don't Make
A Wave Committee co-founded by Jim Bohlen, Patrick Moore, Paul Coté,
and Irving Stowe, followed by an assortment of Canadian and expatriate
American peace activists in Vancouver in 1970. Taking its name from a
slogan used during protests against United States nuclear weapons
testing in late 1969, the Committee had come together with the
objective of stopping a U.S. nuclear bomb test codenamed Cannikin
beneath the Aleutian island of Amchitka, Alaska. The first ship
expedition, inspired by the voyages of the Golden Rule, Phoenix and
Everyman in 1958, was on the chartered West Coast fishing vessel, the
"Phyllis Cormack," owned and sailed by John Cormack of Vancouver, and
called the Greenpeace I;[15] the second expedition was nicknamed
Greenpeace Too!.[16] The test was not prevented, but the voyage laid
the groundwork for Greenpeace's later activities.
[edit] Early influential people
This article may contain original research or unverified claims.
Please improve the article by adding references. See the talk page for
details. (May 2008)
Bill Darnell has received the credit for combining the words "green"
and "peace", there by giving the organization its future name.[17]
Irving Stowe, Paul Coté and Jim Bohlen are co-founders of Greenpeace.
[18] Coté and Bohlen traveled to Anchorage to speak to legislators
(many of whom were also against the testing) about the activities of
Greenpeace. The two men said that they were highly amused at the
surveillance placed on them by the American government. The Alaska
Fish and Game Department protested loudly about the destruction of the
sea lion population and many other species of sea life. The Phyllis
Cormack stationed herself outside the testing zone to observe the
results of the tests. After the initial underwater tests, the United
States Congress voted against further underwater testing. Robert
Hunter was a media guru and spiritual and organisational leader. Ben
Metcalfe became the first Chairman of the Greenpeace Foundation and
with his wife Dorothy managed the media for the first few years. Dr.
Patrick Moore was the ecologist of note and served for nine years as
President of Greenpeace Canada as well as seven years as a Director of
Greenpeace International. Rod Marining's campaign saved the entrance
to Vancouver's Stanley Park. He was on the first voyage to Amchitka
and was a board member during the 1970s. Paul Watson was involved in
the early days of Greenpeace and led Harp Seal Campaigns. and Josh
Norris Lyle Thurston was the medical doctor on the first voyage and
served on the board during the 1970s.
[edit] Campaigns
Greenpeace member protesting nuclear power in LilleOn 4 May 1972,
following Dorothy Stowe's departure from the chairmanship of the Don't
Make a Wave Committee, the fledgling environmental group officially
changed its name to "The Greenpeace Foundation".
In 1972 the yacht Vega, a 12.5-metre (41 ft) ketch owned by David
McTaggart (an eventual spokesman for Greenpeace International), was
renamed Greenpeace III and sailed in an anti-nuclear protest into the
exclusion zone at Mururoa in French Polynesia to attempt to disrupt
French atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. This voyage was sponsored
and organised by the New Zealand branch of the Campaign for Nuclear
Disarmament.[19] CNDNZ and the New Zealand Peace Media had been
lobbying the New Zealand Government and the New Zealand public to
place pressure on Britain and France to agree to enforce a nuclear
test ban in the South Pacific since the mid 1950s.
In 1973 the yacht Fri spearheaded an international protest of a
flotilla of yachts in a voyage against atmospheric nuclear tests at
Moruroa in French Polynesia.[20] Fri was an important part of a series
of anti-nuclear protest campaigns out of New Zealand and Australia
which lasted thirty years, from which New Zealand declared itself a
Nuclear free zone which became enshrined in legislation in what became
the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act
1987.[21][22] This voyage was organised by CNDNZ and the New Zealand
Peace Media. In 1974, coordinated by Greenpeace New Zealand, the Fri
embarked on a 3 year 40,233 kilometers “Pacific Peace Odyssey” voyage,
carrying the peace message to all nuclear states around the world.[23]
[24]
In 1974 the La Flor, from Melbourne, Australia, skippered by Rolf
Heimann, a children's author, set out for Mururoa via New Zealand as
Greenpeace IV but arrived after the final nuclear test for the year.
The French military conducted more than 200 nuclear tests (40 of them
atmospheric) at Mururoa and Fangataufa atolls over a thirty-year
period ending in 1996.
In 1975 the Vancouver based Greenpeace Foundation mounted an anti-
whaling campaign which encountered Soviet whalers over the seamounts
off Mendocino, California. This campaign had been influenced by the
work of Paul Spong and Farley Mowat as well as Robert Hunter's
encounter with the Orca Skana.
In 1976 a campaign was launched against the killing and skinning of
baby seals in Newfoundland for the high-fashion fur trade, targeting
Norwegian ships engaged in the trade after receiving a hostile welcome
from the Newfoundland fishermen involved in the hunt. Greenpeace used
helicopters to move people and supplies to a base camp at Belle Isle.
Brigitte Bardot later got involved in this campaign, to great effect.
In the same year another anti-whaling expedition, using the James Bay
as Greenpeace VII, disrupted the Soviet fleet again, but this time
with the assistance of a "deep throat" source and extra funding from
Ed Daly of World Airways. At about the same time visits to Japan were
arranged to persuade the Japanese people that whaling should end.
By the late 1970s, spurred by the global reach of what Robert Hunter
called "mind bombs", in which images of confrontation on the high seas
converted diffuse and complex issues into considerably more media-
friendly David versus Goliath-style narratives, more than 20 groups
across North America[4], Europe[5], New Zealand[6] and Australia[7]
had adopted the name "Greenpeace".
Greenpeace also engaged with its opponents through the courts both in
Canada (defending a loitering charge for failing to leave a fisheries
office) and in France (David McTaggart's Law of the Sea case to
recover repair costs after his yacht Vega was damaged by the French
navy).
Similarly, Greenpeace became involved with lobbying elected officials
and various bodies such as the United Nations through events such as
the Conference on the Human Environment and with the International
Whaling Commission.
On August 21, 2007, Yvo de Boer, head of the UN Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC), angered environmental groups with his
suggestion that "rich nations should be absolved from the need to cut
emissions if they pay developing countries to do it on their behalf".
Doug Parr of Greenpeace opposed Mr. de Boer's suggestion: "The current
trading system is not delivering emissions reductions as it is ...
Expanding it like this to give rich countries a completely free hand
will simply not work."[25] On August 22, 2007, the Philippine
Department of Energy's plan to develop nuclear energy as an
alternative source of power was opposed by Von Hernandez, campaign
director of Greenpeace Southeast Asia, who warned that exploring
nuclear options to bolster energy demand is "dangerous and
misleading." He said the risks of accidents like Chernobyl or the most
recent Kashiwazaki nuclear plant leak in Japan after an earthquake are
real.[26]
Four Greenpeace activists breached security at Heathrow Airport on
February 25, 2008 to climb on top of a British Airways plane and
protest plans to build a third runway[27] On May 23, 2008, Greenpeace
blocked coal shipments of Team Energy Philippines with the intention
being to prevent expansion of coal power plants in the country. They
sprayed a banner saying "Quit Coal" on the ship, but after
negotiations they withdrew.[28]
In August 2008, a Greenpeace ship started dropping 150 2-3 ton
boulders into the North Sea in order to stop trawling, which it says
harms marine life, demanding that Germany and the EU implement a ban
on heavy net bottom trawling in the protected area. German fishermen
said that the rocks can damage boats and threaten fishermen lives.[29]
The Federation of Fishermen Associations refused to talk with
Greenpeace after the action and its president Ben Daalder made the
statement "We don't negotiate with a criminal organisation."[30]
In September 2008, 6 Greenpeace activists who damaged a chimney at a
power plant in the UK were declared "not guilty" of property
destruction by a jury because they argued, through James Hansen who
supported them in person,[31] that they actually prevented greater
property destruction due to climate change.[32][33]
[edit] Formation of formal global organization
In 1979, the original Vancouver-based Greenpeace Foundation
encountered financial difficulties. Disputes between offices over fund-
raising and organizational direction split the global movement.[34]
David McTaggart lobbied the Canadian Greenpeace Foundation to accept a
new structure which would bring the scattered Greenpeace offices under
the auspices of a single global organization. On October 14, 1979,
Greenpeace International came into existence. Under the new structure,
the local offices would contribute a percentage of their income to the
international organization, which would take responsibility for
setting the overall direction of the movement.
Greenpeace's transformation from a loose international network to a
global organization enabled it to apply the full force of its
resources to a small number of environmental issues deemed of global
significance, owing much to McTaggart's personal vision. McTaggart
summed up his approach in a 1994 memo: "No campaign should be begun
without clear goals; no campaign should be begun unless there is a
possibility that it can be won; no campaign should be begun unless you
intend to finish it off". McTaggart's own assessments of what could
and could not be won, as well as how, frequently caused controversy.
In re-shaping Greenpeace as a centrally coordinated, hierarchical
organization, McTaggart went against the anti-authoritarian ethos that
prevailed in other environmental organizations that came of age in the
1970s. While this pragmatic structure granted Greenpeace the
persistence and narrow focus necessary to match forces with government
and industry, it would lead to the recurrent criticism that Greenpeace
had adopted the same methods of governance as its chief foes, the
multinational corporations. The current Executive Director, Gerd
Leipold, will be replaced in November 2009 by Kumi Naidoo.[35][36]
For smaller actions and for continuous local promotion and activism,
Greenpeace has networks of active supporters that coordinate their
efforts through national offices. The United Kingdom has some 6,000
Greenpeace activists.[citation needed]
[edit] Ships
Since Greenpeace was founded, seagoing ships have played a vital role
in its campaigns.
In 1978, Greenpeace launched the original Rainbow Warrior, a 40-metre
(130 ft), former fishing trawler named for the Cree legend that
inspired early activist Robert Hunter on the first voyage to Amchitka.
Greenpeace purchased the Rainbow Warrior (originally launched as the
Sir William Hardy in 1955) at a cost of £40,000. Volunteers restored
and refitted it over a period of four months.
First deployed to disrupt the hunt of the Icelandic whaling fleet, the
Rainbow Warrior would quickly become a mainstay of Greenpeace
campaigns. Between 1978 and 1985, crew members also engaged in non-
violent direct action against the ocean-dumping of toxic and
radioactive waste, the Grey Seal hunt in Orkney and nuclear testing in
the Pacific. Japan's Fisheries Agency has labeled Greenpeace ships as
"anti-whaling vessels" and "environmental terrorists".[37]
In 1985 the Rainbow Warrior entered into the waters surrounding
Moruroa atoll, site of French nuclear testing. The sinking of the
Rainbow Warrior occurred when the French government secretly bombed
the ship in Auckland harbour on orders from François Mitterrand
himself. This killed Dutch freelance photographer Fernando Pereira,
who thought it was safe to enter the boat to get his photographic
material after a first small explosion, but drowned as a result of a
second, larger explosion. The attack was a public relations disaster
for France after it was quickly exposed by the New Zealand police. The
French Government in 1987 agreed to pay New Zealand compensation of NZ
$13 million and formally apologised for the bombing. The French
Government also paid ₣2.3 million compensation to the family of the
photographer.
In 1989 Greenpeace commissioned a replacement vessel, also named the
Rainbow Warrior, which remains in service today as the flagship of the
Greenpeace fleet.
In 1996 the Greenpeace vessel MV Sirius was detained by Dutch police
while protesting the import of genetically modified soybeans due to
the violation of a temporary sailing prohibition, which was
implemented because the Sirius prevented their unloading. The ship,
but not the captain, was released half an hour later.
In 2005 the Rainbow Warrior II ran aground on and damaged the
Tubbataha Reef in the Philippines while she was, ironically, on a
mission to protect the very same reef.[38] Greenpeace was fined $7,000
USD for damaging the reef and agreed to pay the fine, although it said
that the Philippines government had given it outdated charts.
Along with the Rainbow Warrior, the Greenpeace organisation has two
other ships:
MY Arctic Sunrise
MY Esperanza
[edit] Criticism
Main article: Criticism of Greenpeace
Greenpeace has been variously[who?] criticized for being too radical,
too alarmist,[39] or too mainstream, for using methods bordering on
eco-terrorism, for having itself caused environmental damage in its
activities, for taking positions which are not environmentally or
economically sound, and for valuing non-human causes over human
causes. These criticisms have been made by governments, industrial and
political lobbyists and other environmental groups.
Early Greenpeace member, Canadian Ecologist Patrick Moore left the
organization in 1986 when it decided to support a universal ban on
chlorine in drinking water, chlorine which Moore has called "the
biggest advance in the history of public health" and "essential for
our health."[40] Moore has argued that Greenpeace today is motivated
by politics rather than science and that none of his "fellow directors
had any formal science education".[40]

In March, 2007 a division dedicated to working more closely with the
entertainment community, founded by Mark Warford and former Eurythmic
Dave Stewart was established in Hollywood. Inaugural projects included
the music release of 'Go Green', a celebrity-laden pop song that
included Dave Stewart, Annie Lennox, Sarah McLachlan and newcomer
Nadirah X and a cultural exchange with Greenpeace China and the
Hollywood community. The affiliation with Greenpeace was closed in
October, 2007 due gross misalignment. Founders Mark Warford and Dave
Stewart continue under the banner of Weapons of Mass Entertainment.

Tex is pronounced Teh-etz and means that is in four parts.
Tex is the lowest and most material of the aethyrs. It is located on
the etheric plane, or lower the etheric body of earth.

Aquino look like a nice couple interested in researching the occult
and strange secrets. DR Aquino seemed soft spoken and Lilith looked
very beautiful, she reminded me of one of the actresses from the old
tv show called night gallery! Their home had the background color of
black and in it was the unknown being investegated and strange
artifacts were in it. It looked like they lived next door to the cario
museum researching egyption archeology! They seemed liberal and looked
and sounded like real California people!

Great. I've heard Grand Magister Block-a-wood's voice blog where he
claims to speak with Satan after drinking the blood of an ailing
goat. I've seen the Harry Potter films where wizards appear to fly
thru tha air on broomsticks. Mass media is magickal stuff, ain't it?
(Sings) That's Entertainment!

Why post all those names if you 'really don't give a shit'? Is it

You refer to my mention of the 'Book of Zonks'? That was not a slam

alt.satanism.

The post the Denny spammer referenced is one of Diana's. Read Diana's
blog if you want be informed enough to understand what this thread is
about, what Diana has been posting about Lilith., and why I was
suggesting Dennybot STFU and drop it. So typical of you to jump right
in without any context.
You don't know me, Tani, so don't pretend to speak for me or explain
my motivations.

Hee hee, the same line I give any ol' "magician" when they start
talking their BS to me. I'm reflective and you're glue, what bounces
off
of me.... Exactly who was echoing whom in this game, and who started
it,

you could simply claim I missed some earlier claim from back when. I
leave
the decision of who is right here, and who cares, to the denizens of
alt.satanism.
As a collector of bullshit, I can go on and on and on and on if ya
start me. Occultnik (and religious "studies") has been my hobby since
I

COS spying on COS for a Magistra of the COS? How silly. Too bad
you're so duplicitous, and so full of shit. You're the author of the
"Super-Klippoth" theory, and the "Colors" (mentioned in the Dark
Doctrines,
and on Vad's site if you look - Bullshit now, you say; interesting).

The END? But I have so many stories to tell. Tit for tat, you
know.
Here's a good one. I'll even add some notes for clarification. My
insertions are in brackets, with [SC:].
My apologies to Jacqueline Davis for the references herein. I
leave it
up to HER if she wants more on this particular vein. I have a number
of
cooler stories, from Tani's purported role in the Gulf War to going
back in
time (yes, going back in time) like Mershon the Moron. I leave up to
Tani
how much exposure (and entertainment) she would like to see, how much
she
really wants to play "tit-tit-tit-for-tat with me concerning personal
information and private communication.

'Nobody (y)our side would waste the time' because many of the steps
fit your group perfectly. They fit any woowoo group, actually, of
which the Satanic Reds is certainly one. Besides, you bathhouse boiz
have better things to do, like combing usenet for mentiones of the
Dementia Durga.

Actually, such doesn't fit our organization *at all*. Not even

Interesting. You are the second most demented person on here. I need
not name the first, but it sure the hell isn't anyone I know.
Now, shut up, you fucking demented whore.
KoriHoughton
Thank you for proving my point, Jerome. Your gang likes to show up,
disturb the shit, and then blame the COS for the smell. I am not
surprised you people are incapable of seeing your own org -- and
especially org leadership -- in about half of those 13 Steps. Maybe
there was a good reason why the COS used the SRs as their whacked
attack squad?

Diana is the original poster in that thread, Jerome. If anyone was
trying to provoke conflict, it was she -- because she is confused, I
think. I have no idea why you SRs so often feel the need to re-write
history and then whine at the world to accept your fabricated version
of the past.

There was (maybe still is, dunno) a store in my state called Colorful
Past Antiques. But I didn't own it and I've never even been there. I
have no interest in quilts and such like 'country decor'. OMG no! I
changed the name of my online business (not a physical store as you
suggest) five years ago to avoid possible confusion with the person
who used the name first. Once again, Jerome, the facts do not support
your shit disturbing...but SRs never bother to look where they step.
Let me spread it out for you to sniff, Jerome: if you, the Demented
Durga, or any of your other ethically-challenged associates goad Diana
into bothering the owner of the business you mentioned and it comes to
my attention, you will be hearing from my attorney. He won't be the
only one you and Tanikins will be hearing from, but I'm just saving a
spot in the line.
Luv,
Kori
Jerome Mueller
you and Harry Lime TV (Mr. Green) both regard as not quite stable and
prone to predatory stalking. You both say that, showing that you
think that.
You, goy bitch - BITCH - like to fan flames. Think you can fan them
my way? Think again.
You provoked her, you both threatened her, you BOTH did that, though
you threatened her "in someone else's name" like some silly little
hypothetical. She saw through that. YOU BOTH threatened her.
Therefore, let her know WHO you are - because surely, you stupid fuck,
she WILL find out. She's quite good at that given enough time.
And btw, the law requires you both to SAY WHO you are, if you are
going to harass people, stir up shit and otherwise threaten them. She
claimed you both threatened her. Therefore, YOU DID. It's that
simple.
Now, if said "other" owner of whatever stupid store gets in trouble,
she can thank YOU for plastering YOUR NAME all over the fucking place
with THAT STORE next to it.

Hi, Susie --
Sure! I would be happy to share anything I find that might work for
other sellers.
Mostly I've been using the down time to work on an outline for a book
I plan to write. (It's fiction, and not about selling antiques )
Right now, it might be distracting if I had a lot of orders to
fill....so I guess it's a good thing I don't have any distractions!
Please come and visit us outsiders on here once in a while!
Jana Gromlich/Colorful Past Antiques
unquote
So, if you are not the owner, then the owner can have YOU to thank
for:
1. posting such things as if you are the owner.
2. provoking Diana and getting a laugh out of it with Harry Lime Mr.
Green
3. Claiming on alt.satanism that you ARE Jana Gromlich.
Now, fuck off goy. Go back to church. And get this through your
stupid head: I speak as an individual. I do not speak for an
organization. I do not speak for another person. I speak for myself
and have said what I had to say. I have free speech. Take your meepy
threats elsewhere, you g-d-DAMNED bitch.

It's no secret I had an online store. I said in the previous post I
changed my store's name about 5 years ago (the post you pasted in from
another forum is dated 2003, duh). I have had no contact with the
owner of the other store, don't know the person, don't know if the
other store is still open. I am not interested in the type of
merchandise they sold. It is not uncommon for antiques shops,
physical or online, to have either the same name or very similar ones
even within the same state. I changed the name of my new store, by my
own choice, to avoid any confusion for my customers. End of
story.
I have no idea why you've seemingly worked yourself up into a
hysterical state over the name of an online store that was closed
years ago?
Luv,

I'm not sure about that, but i do think that there
is more to magic than just the mind. I recognize
magic as a symbolic activity which intends a fairly
specific result.
> Bobo is correct.
really? yay!
you're all talking about "zonking", however, which
is kinda like psychic powers and shaktipat and
whoozawhutzitz kundalini dorje bolts or whatever.
I don't regard that as magic, or spells, but as

Boy Tani you never cease. Reductionist logic as everything revolves
around sex. Doubt Kori has any interest in boinking anybody in
alt.satanism. Tormenting Diana? Me? Please, you wish. Trying to get
her to take the focus off of you and onto me. Nice! I'm not the
leader of the "Satanic Reds." Nor am I a public figure as I haven't
had that show in over six years. Not a Satanist either. You're the
"Satanic Red" here not me. You're the former Magistra in The Church Of
Satan, not me.
Lest we forget, I've never threatened anyone in here including Ms.
Napolis. Remember your whining in here because she filed a
"rediculous" lawsuit against you?

Since 'Blockwood' gets his freak on with pros, a girl would have to be
nutso to get intimate with him...and indirectly intimate with every
lot lizard, 'dancer' and micro minor league pR0n starlette in North
America that he could afford to pay.

And she's still inserting Aquino's name into every possible thread
when she posts. Ya know, Wanda, she actually has this in common with
Diana. Lots of cases of Mary Sue delusional thinking out there: I

He's a "pay-to-play" guy? Oh how, um, Satanic. So many guys seem to
think the role as purveyor of flesh is somehow ennobling. To me it
seems akin to herding cats with substance abuse issues. To beat Tani

my time. Never slept with the help, though...

Tani has always been drawn to celebs just like Diana. If someone were
to ask, I'd bet Dr. Aquino would like to live his remaining years in
peace sans a rogue paranoid schizophrenic and a grizzled Turanian Size
Queen.

No one is as well endowed as 'her people'. I keep wondering if they
are the inverse of cats, who have huge balls and tiny members.

A d00d who ended his posts with 'Hail the Ho's' and ran an 'escort'
service at one time isn't exactly any smart woman's dream lover.
Since he's been so public about his preferences, he shouldn't be
surprised that women just might think of his groin as a biohazzard on
legs.

Lots of people are thrilled to have any kind of contact with celebs.
There are threads on forums all over the net with topics like 'What is
closest you've gotten to a celebrity' or for online sellers like moi
'What famous people have you sold something to?' Personally, I'd
rather not know if one of my customers is famous because then I'd feel
I should have charged them more.

Jerome you're quite nuts. I've never suggested Diana stalk anyone
including Tani. Diana needs to take her meds and get on with her life.
I suggest you and Tani do the same. Life is too short to waste on this
nonsense.

No one threatened Diana Napolis. I've been quite civil to her and
encouraged her to drop her filing lawsuits against both Aquino and
Tani and seek the care of a medical professional.
You're using Diana's mental instability as a pathetic, passive-
aggressive, weaselly attempt to intimidate others. Why not just be an
adult and try to do things yourself rather than hiding behind someone
with a history of mental illness? That's exploitation, Jerome. Please
keep this in mind if anything untoward happens.

That's if one harasses people. Diana is free to seek a legal remedy if
she sees fit. Likewise so is everyone else involved. Tani has been
free to sue her detractors (including me), yet she does nothing. I
don't take you or her seriously, Jerome, which is why I haven't wasted
money on a lawyer. On the other hand, if you and/or Tani incite Diana
to take action against me you might want to consider the personal cost
of that type of action.

Actually you and Tani have a demonstrated history of trying to "out"
people in the Google archives. Do you think these types of posts
aren't logged? Tani's spent several years getting Google to clean up
her more "over-the-top" Usenet posts. Do you think these just
disappear forever? They don't.

Don't sell humanity short, Kori. There's a plethora of women in the

Ain't that the truth.
Not to brag, but I have a "friend" who used to sell a lot of "stuff"
to the well-to-do including a fair amount of folks in the rag
(schmata) and entertainment trades in LA. I disagree with F. Scott
Fitzgerald in that the wealthy are unlike everyday folks. People are
the same where ever you go no matter how much money they have stuffed
in their mattresses. Most of the people I met through my "friend"
didn't impress me much. Eh, people.

A big pr0n star? Ha! Um, you forgot "tits" Tani. Seems you're the
one obsessed with men's gonads ala your "pinkey-deecked klipklop"

Sure Tani, give it a shot. You're a public figure as one of the heads
of the *Satanic* Reds, former honorary Magistra with the Church Of
*Satan* and gawd only knows what else. Let's remember you try to give
Diana tips by posting what you think is my real name in this
newsgroup.

No, Diana is bothering him. You're encouraging her. I don't know
Aquino. I've exchanged two or three emails with him. Never met him in
person. I'm not a member of The Temple Of Set. Still trying to
associate me with the ToS, Tani? This might make Diana try to sue me
or perhaps something worse. You, like Jermone Rose (Jerome Mueller),
are trying to use a person with a history of mental illness to harass
me.

Hey Wilber, please see in --
Well, Wilbur, as it happens Diana is now kooking out about The Dorsa
on her blog. And, surprise surprise surprise Tani's handlers nudged
her to start deleting posts here, and lit Denny's fuse to start
spamming about some Enochian call.
If Diana is pushed by Tani and her clown car packed with nutbars to
act on some fantasy about me being Harry who is some kind of robot or
whatever, I've already told Jerome that he and Tani will get to share
the glory (and maybe I can drag a few of Tani's handlers out of the
shadows as well).

She was quick on the delete tonight when her (old) bat phone rang.
I'd love to see what kind of direct internet contact Tani, Jerome, or
others in their circle, have had with Diana this year. Diana did not
seize upon the Doorsa posting ID at random.

I enjoyed the thread about sex on the beach where Tani thought I was
talking about anal when I said it was nasty getting sand in your

Blackwood isn't 'humanity', Wilbur. Humanity wouldn't drink the blood
of a sickly goat, or we would have long since gone extinct. I guess I
should have made it clear that the biohazzard extends way beyond his
groin. My bad. I should have said that any sane woman would feel
lips that have touched a freshly sacrificed sick goat will never touch
any part of her...or even her clothing.

True. I recall the Christmas newsletter years ago from a wealthy aunt
mentioning how expensive it was to eat at McDonald's in the Paris
Metro. I mean, WTF? Why was she eating there? I know...because
there wasn't a K-Mart available with a cafe', plastic tables and all
(another of her fave eateries). It's not money that informs taste.

LOL! It'll be interesting to see just how far Diana takes this
"Doorsa" thingy. I suspect she doesn't realize this has more to do
with the English game of Cricket. Sticky wicket and all. So now that
Diana is being uploaded by a clandestine computer program run amok
here's another clue from her own host, Wordpress: http://thedoorsa.wordpress.com/
Can you smell the eevvviilll Kori? (And I'm not referring to the aroma
that permeates Blackwood's crotch (not that either one of us would

Blood of a sickly goat? I missed that one. As you probably know, Black
Pudding is favored by some of my more unenlightened Irish relatives.
Never got the whole ritualized animal sacrifice thing, tho. My guess
is that Raspotnik has a bit too much time on his hands (amongst other
bodily fluids).

True, but money sure helps a lot. Great story. I'm sure a "Readers
Digest" version will soon appear on the SRs website attributed to
Jermone (misspelling intentional)
Speaking of prole food enjoyed by the upwardly mobile. In San Diego in
the Hillcrest neighborhood there used to be a restaurant called The
Chicken Pie Shop which features awesome Chicken Pot Pies and lots of
other great stuff at impossibly low prices. Did a Google of them and
it looks like they moved out of Hillcrest to a place with cheaper
rent: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pnoeric/517361398/ Hmm, wonder if
Diana has ever eaten at that restaurant?

All I can say is: pip pip! Joking aside, I would like to know what
set her off on your handle. You hadn't even posted recently.

Her catholic upbringing is showing. Do you know Berstein's MASS?
God said that sex should repulse
Unless it leads to results
So we fill the world
Full of consenting adults
And it was good
The bois can't make a baby together so anal for them is okay.

I've never heard of Black Pudding. I'll have to look it up....oh,
blood sausages. I've never had a taste, but it's something made by
people all over the planet. I remember some co-workers who either
were Puerto Rican on married to one mentioning blood sausages. It
seemed to be a thing guys liked, but gals didn't. Dunno. I like
chicken sausages with feta cheese, garlic and spinach (in the
sausages, that is), but they are ivory and green.
I don't go for rituals of any kind, personally, unless it's an
activity for some real world purpose. Like remembering to take out
the trash LOL

I used to love pot pies as a kid. We had a real automat in the city
(Trenton) with lots of cheap comfort food, and they had decent pot
pies. Out here in Pennsylvania Dutch country, pot pies don't have
crust or any veggies. They are just chicken, lumps of dough, and
potatoes in the starchiest bland gravy known to man, or woman either.
If Diana comes back to visit us again, you'll have to ask her where
she likes to eat in San Diego!

No. I was raised as a Mor(m)on until my parents divorced. Exposure to
the LDS, Inc. is plenty of religion for at least 10 lifetimes. Still
confounds me how rational people can believe such nonsense.

Makes sense given all of the interest in buggering underage boys by
the priests. Frankly, I think anal overrated no matter which team you
play for.

Probably thinking of Morcilla? If it's done correctly it's great. Like
Chorizo, IMO. I've had a green colored (Chorizo verde) and if I recall
the color comes partly from basil (which is unusual in Mexican
cooking) and a lot of food coloring.

I've never really understood ritual. The Mor(m)ons have a rite for
baptism for the dead and other Temple Work which seemed silly to me as
a youngster. I find the pageantry of the Catholic Church and sacred
art (particularly the altars) visually interesting, but don't
understand much else about Catholicism.

The best part of Chicken Pot Pie is the crusty pastry. Sounds like the
PA Dutch need some lessons in fusion cooking.

At the very least; however, she might think that this is some bizarre
subterfuge involving cricket and the doorsa stealing of souls of the
innocent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doosra). I'll be sure and make
some recommendations too.

I actually have no idea, nor do I have any suspicions about any
person. My best guess would be she simply found the handle here in
the usenet archive involved in a discussion with (ahem) a certain
person about your various posting names. I'm a dull, boring, Ocam's

The MASS is much more musical theater than it is liturgy.

Wow, Morcillas sound tasty! But the ones I have are chicken, with
more of a Greek inspired taste (food, not something else ahem).

There are lots of pagan elements mixed into Catholic ceremonial. Like
Jimmy Page, those church fathers knew who to steal from.

Uh, they need some cooking lessons, period. Actually, I should have
mentioned that squirrel pot pie is considered more of a taste treat
than chicken. Squirrel meat is supposedly much greasier. Ground hog
would be a second choice. Gack...

They were pretty adept at stealing from the locals. It's amazing to me
more Catholics aren't aware of this.

Not my cup of tea, thanks. I've eaten some pretty exotic stuff (dog,

Hope she starts taking her meds and leaves everybody in here alone.
Sad to read how she believes how vast the conspiracy is against her.
You'd think with all of the scholarly research she may have done
pursuing a Master's Degree she'd see that satanists and other occult
types are rarely involved in these types of crimes. Looks like she has
a MA in some sort of bizarre psychology movement so I guess this isn't
a surprise.
