Absolutely unthinkable that the @sciencemuseum should do this during the COP summit, are they trolling the world?? We expect the museum will now make itself a target for protests and demos during COP. Hopefully @sim_manchester will distance itself from this?
BREAKING: in move branded 'staggeringly out-of-step and irresponsible' by scientists, the @ScienceMuseum has quietly announced oil and gas giant @Shell is sponsoring its flagship #climate exhibition in the run-up to the #COP26 climate talks cultureunstained.org/2021/04…
Excellent work!
Tonight the flames of @Shell’s hell scorched the walls of the @southbankcentre. This partnership must end. #ShellMustFall #climateemergency #remembersarowiwa

Yes!
'This seismic shift is down to the actors, activists and school strikers who have powerfully shone a spotlight on @BP_plc’s destructive business - and how, even now, the company is 97% invested in fossil fuels.' cultureunstained.org/2019/10… #DropBP #ClimateEmergency
Amazing news, oil company sponsorship in the context of climate change is now unthinkable, unacceptable.
BREAKING!: @nationaltheatre drops @Shell and declares a #climateemergency. BRAVO 👏 👏👏 Where theatres are leading, now will museums follow? #museums2019 thestage.co.uk/news/2019/nat…

Manchester City Council has just declared #ClimateEmergencyMCR. Taking action on our heat leaking buildings is now essential. It's a big job with the need for 1.5 homes to be retrofitted every minute. Every second counts.@evefrancisholt @AnnetteWright @ExtinctionR @MENnewsdesk

Today @sim_manchester bids farewell to @shell as their big oil sponsored exhibition ‘Electricity: the spark of life’ closes its doors. Here’s a little video to send them on their way.

Very clear message from @KevinClimate on climate impact of flying on #r4today this morning. Presenter clearly very surprised to hear he last flew in 2004, but vital those involved in tackling climate change demonstrate what is needed and what is possible.

“Some basic due diligence would have revealed the controversy over Souter’s anti-LGBT views. This is another sign that cultural organizations can take a bold ethical stance when they choose to.” #turnerprize #stagecoach nytimes.com/2019/05/03/arts/…

Come on @sim_manchester. Follow @EdSciFest’s admirable lead and rule out any future fossil fuel funding in order to preserve your scientific integrity. #shellout #dropbp #divest
The Shell-sponsored 'Electricity: The Spark of Life' exhibition ends this coming Saturday, will @sim_manchester now commit to implementing its own ethical sponsorship policy and abandon future big oil company sponsorship? #extinctionrebellion @XR_MCR scienceandindustrymuseum.org…

#Shell exposed in two reports today:
📢all its investments are incompatible with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
📢does not pay its fair share of taxes.
Strong political action needed!

Oil companies are facing huge threats to their profitability from climate change policy
Carbon capture and storage MIGHT help them eke out their business model
But they want taxpayers to pay for it. Yes, really

This is the moment an environmental lawyer glues herself to the street outside the Shell building in London.
Farhana Yamin helped negotiate the Paris Climate Agreement, but now her husband and son explain what pushed her to civil disobedience in the fight against climate change.

Many people have responded to the #ExtinctionRebellion protests in London by saying "but what about China".
So I made this new animation showing cumulative CO2 emissions since 1750.
As of 2019, the UK remains the world's fifth largest contributor to warming CO2. Yep.
