“As we have seen this evening, the public is starting to join the dots. It’s not acceptable for the Science Museum to provide a space for fossil fuel companies to hypocritically claim to be clean energy producers, when the billions they still spend on fossil fuel extraction dwarf their investments in renewables.”
Dr Tristram Wyatt, senior research fellow at the University of Oxford and member of Scientists for XR

“The science is clear. During an escalating climate crisis, is it responsible for a public body like the Science Museum to invite Adani to sponsor its Energy Revolution gallery? Adani has just invested 16 Billion Australian dollars in a new coal mine and, as your own due diligence revealed, is accused of environmental crimes, human rights abuses and corruption.”
Greta #Thunberg comment from the audience at Science Museum event.
“As a doctor it is my responsibility to warn people when their health is being threatened. The sponsors of the science museum are the greatest threat to the health of my patients. They are polluting the air we need to breathe, driving famines, droughts, and the spread of deadly infectious diseases. Accepting money from these companies is totally unacceptable, and that is why I am part of this protest.”
Dr Kush Naker, infectious disease specialist from London.
Here in Australia, one of the biggest organisations supporting refugees has always made a point of not accepting any government funding. This isn’t because they couldn’t do with extra funds!
It’s because they want to be able to speak frankly about government policy & actions on refugees at all times. When your budget is dependent on support from an institution whose actions might logically be thought to be vulnerable to criticism from yourself, it’s pretty predictable that you’re going to end up compromising your values.
