This morning, Laura Kuenssberg asked Dr James Richardson about a protest in the Science Museum’s new #climate gallery…
But failed to mention that the protest was *against* the sponsor #Adani - the world’s biggest private producer of coal! 🙄

“The fossil fuel industry funds museums, sports, aquariums, and schools, serving the dual purpose of cleaning up its image and making communities feel dependent on the industry and thus less likely to criticize it.”
Science Museum care to comment?

Scientists and young climate activists joined forces to occupy the #Adani -sponsored Energy Revolution gallery at the Science Museum.

That’s why ScientistsForXR & 💥youth action for climate justice💥 have occupied the gallery . Fossil fuels need to stay in the ground . Culture Unstained #dropadani #stopadani
1/3 UK school students are due to start visiting Science Museum's Energy Revolution [SIC] gallery. Here's what they will NOT be told about just two of the many coal mine projects of the sponsor Adani Group in India:

after a successful day occupying the Science Museum's coal sponsored energy gallery, we're enjoying some food and games before heading into our second night 😴
Last night Chris Packham gave his support to more than 20 scientists and young people who occupied the’Energy Revolution’ gallery at the @ScienceMuseum.
Staff have closed the gallery today, as the museum would rather hide the truth from visitors about their sponsorship deal…
🚨Breaking!
The Science Museum have decided to close the ‘Energy Revolution’ gallery to the public rather than let people hear the truth about their polluting sponsor Adani - the largest private coal producer in the world!
#AdaniOut #FossilFreeMuseum
we've successfully stayed our first night in the science museum! 😴🤘
occupiers have sculptured a pile of coal to protest coal giant Adani's sponsorship of the Science Museum
come to our people's assembly at 2pm to join our protest!!
#StopAdani #DropAdani
A night at the museum!
It was cold, but the occupier’s spirits are high. We can’t wait to speak to today’s visitors about the reality behind the Science Museum sponsor Adani.
Come and join us! We will be here all day (and all night again!).
📣 Breaking: Around 24 young people and scientists have occupied the new @ScienceMuseum Energy Revolution gallery sponsored by mega-coal giant #Adani in a #greenwash exercise.
Chris Packham supported the protest #DropAdani
Agree with us? Join us at the gallery 2pm tomorrow (13/04) for a people's assembly discussing alternatives to toxic sponsorship at the Science Museum. Cultural institutions across the country and internationally have cut ties with fossil fuel companies. We know it is possible! 5/
Dr. Dr. Aaron Thierry, a scientist who joined the protest, said: “It’s not just @adanionline’s brand that the science museum is greenwashing, they’re also allowing the oil and gas giants bp and Equinor UK to sponsor their exhibits”

.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
Amazing!! 🙌
Solidarity to the young people and scientists calling the Science Museum out on its dirty deal with a major coal and arms company!
