@ErgonWolf @quinn Can confirm. I joined Greenpeace in 1984.
Also, never forget that the French government sunk Greenpeace's ship, Rainbow Warrior, in New Zealand in 1985, killing Fernando Pereira. Nation states were clearly prepared to kill to prevent climate action. It was a genuinely scary time to be active back then.
