Some important points made by @GarethRubin in the @guardian - but disagree with his take on Fossil Free Books. Applying ethical standards to corporate sponsors is just good practice, and the sector should be responsive to concerns of stakeholders… 1/2 https://t.co/vp7bvPXmcX

Great edition of #RareEarth on @BBCRadio4 w/@tomheapmedia + @helenczerski… 🌍 But maybe gap in discussion on issue of high carbon sponsorship (oil, airlines, fossil banks) in culture & sport, both driving demand *and* influence of fossil fuel industry… https://t.co/H1c0qG6dqy

The @sciencemuseum’s sponsor #Adani is displacing Indigenous peoples to keep mining new coal, burning coal in new power stations, facing charges of alleged bribery and fraud, and making drones fuelling the genocide in Palestine. Are you “delighted” to work alongside #Adani?! 😡
To our Corporate Partners, your support enables us to inspire the future innovators in science and technology through our exhibitions, events and programmes. We’re delighted to work alongside you. https://t.co/0fnAoXBMaw

Surely the London @sciencemuseum has to finally end its grotesque #Adani sponsorship deal. @gautam_adani can't even visit his own greenwashing exhibition without risking arrest! #StopAdani @Cult_Unstained @londonmining @XRebellionUK
