Xmas 🎄 Climate 🌎 Comedy 😂 Appreciation 👏
Just a few of the things that made us laugh this year (even as we screamed inside)
Thanks Culture Unstained
INEOS is a dirty company and Ratcliffe is a fossil fuel fan.

Jim Ratcliffe, a billionaire who has profited from the production and processing of fossil fuels on a huge scale, extends his campaign of #sportswashing … 🌍🔥💰

The British Museum accepts £50m from BP. BM loses a deputy chair, endures sustained negative publicity (to cap off a tough year). But how did the BM arrive at this decision? The Art Newspaper looks into the board minutes & sequence of events theartnewspaper.com/2023/12/19/bri…
August - 80 leading figures including artist Nan Goldin, writer Gaia Vince and #climate scientist Bill McGuire - call on British Museum to rename its #BPlecturetheatre . ✊
December - the museum announces a new 10-year sponsorship with the oil giant. 😡

In addition to signing a new BP sponsorship, the British Museum appears to have resisted transparency and accountability, holding back 8 sets of Board minutes and rejecting requests for them.
Great digging by The Art Newspaper.

The British Museum has been called “out of touch” and accused of supporting greenwashing after the institution accepted the largest ever corporate donation to the UK arts sector - a £50m deal with oil giant BP. tinyurl.com/2jbs79vm

This is *why* we need an end to fossil fuel ads and sponsorships! 🗞️🛢️🏛️
They are designed and strategically placed in order to influence decision-makers. 🤝💰🏭
Great work by badvertising! 👇

ICYMI: New 10-year partnership between British Museum and BP has been criticised by environmental groups Doug Parr Greenpeace UK Culture Unstained Chris Garrard artsprofessional.co.uk/news/british-m…
Equinor - sponsor of the Science Museum’s #Wonderlab for children - has been held to account for its misleading green claims… 👀
Not a great look for a *science* museum to be partnering with such a firm.
This, from the “Science Director” of the Science Museum, failing to join the dots between the fossil fuel extraction of museum sponsors BP, Equinor and coal producer Adani…and these more frequent forest fires… 🙄

The #BritishMuseum announced a 10year £50m partnership with #BP to help fund one of the biggest redevelopments in its histor. Years of protest over BP’s sponsorship will continue. #moneytalks
Remembering Ahdaf Soueif’s powerful words in London Review of Books upon resigning from the British Museum Board in 2019 over, in part, the partnership with BP.
If only other Board members would now examine their conscience and follow her example.
