Have huge respect for the work Chris Stark has done - but surely he’s aware that #Adani isn’t leading the transition but is pushing forward *new* coal mines and coal fired power stations?

Shame neither Laura or Chris provided the crucial context behind the protest.

Gail’s is pretentious and overpriced - and now it’s common knowledge that it’s Chaired by (among other things) a climate denier.

Some days he must really regret going into coalition with the Tories…

.Science Museum, this is pertinent information to include about your new sponsor Adani Group. In addition to being the biggest private developer of new coal in the world, they also produce and sell weapons to Israel used in the #Genocide_in_Gaza .

Extremely sinister. Having silenced civil society organisations who have criticised its destructive coal expansion, #Adani is now setting up its own climate 'think-tank'. A climate think-tank run by the world's biggest proponent of new coal. Really? tbsnews.net/world/south-as…

.Chris Packham has a big question for the Science Museum “why on earth are we allowing a destructive industry to sponsor an educational exhibition whilst simultaneously setting fire to young peoples futures? This is beyond greenwash - it’s grotesque” #AdaniOut #FossilFreeMuseum
