The anti-science agenda and climate denial of fossil fuel companies led to @SciUnstained to protest their sponsorship role @EdSciFest
This pressure and fantastic campaigning meant they were successfully dropped. ✊

We're still on #NorthBridge disrupting central Edinburgh at rush hour for #InternationalRebellion #XRScotland #conscientiousprotectors
As more institutions drop fossil fuel sponsorship it seems like big oil is losing its social license!
@chiversdanny @newint you missed out our recent campaign win in getting Edinburgh Science Festival to drop fossil fuel sponsors! newint.org/features/2019/02/…
For anyone who came to our talk at the @ScotlandXr Festival of Climate Reality today - the video we showed was from the amazing @ReclaimOurBard
You can find all the amazing videos of their anti-fossil fuel sponsorship performances at bp-or-not-bp.org/
Some of our members spoke at this earlier today about why fossil fuel companies are not part of the solution and should not get legitimacy from sponsoring public art and science!
Head down to hear more about what people are doing to tackle the climate crisis!
Awesome programme for our #ExtinctionRebellion Scotland Festival of Climate Reality. 15 April, 10am-5pm, 5 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh EH8 9SU

Check out @jessworth going head to head with Claire Fox at 10:30 mins. A great argument for why oil company sponsorship in the arts is unacceptable.
We made the case against oil sponsorship of culture on @BBCWorld @BBCWorldBiz this morning. You can listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3csy7…

'By being associated with science outreach events, fossil fuel companies aim to clean up their image and present themselves as responsible organisations aligned with scientific consensus on climate change.'

Coverage of @EdSciFest dropping fossil fuel sponsors in Energy Voice: oil and gas news for the energy sector
Glad the message is getting through to the industry! energyvoice.com/oilandgas/19…
Solidarity to Shell Out Public Science who are calling out Science and Industry museum in Manchester for their Shell sponsorship.
If @EdSciFest can acknowledge these are inappropriate sponsors for their role in causing the climate crisis why can’t @sim_manchester??
Greeting the guests at Shell’s #makethefuture event at the @sim_manchester.Nice that 5% is now going to clean tech.Shame about the other 95%
