Welcome to see members of the #museums and wider #culture sector respond to the Supreme Court ruling and directly oppose the unworkable interim guidance of the #EHRC…https://www.museumsassociation.org/museums-journal/news/2025/05/museums-grapple-with-implications-of-supreme-court-ruling-on-sex/

Remember when banks were scrambling to respond to activist pressure and show they were climate leaders? In Feb 2021, Royal Bank of Canada announced they would put $500 billion into Sustainable Finance by 2025. Yesterday they abandoned that goal. Oh the good 'ol days. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Lord Stern robustly rebutting Tony Blair’s illogical and misleading claims on #netzero on #bbc #radio4 right now, and pushing back on the suggestion that there isn’t progress across the world on #climate.

1/12 Tony Blair Institute have released a report which is getting a lot of coverage in UK today It says the drive for net zero emissions is flawed and some media outlets have gone to town However it’s a bit odd By odd, I mean there’s a lot of bollocks in it and shouldn't be taken seriously 🧵🧵

On the day BP is reaffirming it’s commitment to increasing oil production, I think there’s a need to be a phase out both of fossil fuels and Tony Blair’s colossal ego… Maybe Tony could read the IEA’s #netzero report before weighing in. 🤷‍♂️ www.theguardian.com/environment/... #netzero #warcriminal

Reckless business plans here from BP - and yet no movement from the #BritishMuseum or @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social on partnering with the company… 🙄 #climate #fossilfuels #museums #ethics

We need a new term… “Cos-washing” 💅🤷‍♂️🛢️ sustainabilitymag.com/articles/she...

The Supreme Court is wrong. Solidarity to trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming in the wake of this ruling. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The idea that new oil & gas fields are a key lever for economic dynamism in the UK is completely at odds with the reality of the North Sea basin's inexorably declining contribution to the UK's economic & energy security--not to mention the costs of escalating climate change. Some thoughts: /1

A poorly argued piece here from #BritishMuseum Director Nick Cullinan which is sprinkled with inaccuracies, straw man arguments and mischaracterisations of activism. We can - and should - have ethical standards for cultural sponsorship. www.ft.com/content/4e4e... @cultureunstained.bsky.social 1/x

We stand in solidarity with @Greenpeace and the water protectors fighting the Dakota pipeline. No matter what the fossil fuel industry throws at us, our global movement will continue to fight back.

🚨BREAKING🚨 The trial verdict is in. A jury in the Morton County courthouse found Greenpeace International and two Greenpeace entities in the United States liable for over US$ 660 million combined in Energy Transfer’s meritless SLAPP lawsuit. #WeWillNotBeSilenced

More than 150 ‘unprecedented’ climate disasters struck world in 2024, says UN #Climate

UK Tory opposition leader Badenoch to abandon climate change net zero 2050 target This isn't a new direction but a craven failure, feeding not halting Britain's decline Wrong in so many ways, it fails • Morally • Economically • Socially • Politically 🧵1/5 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We’re appalled that the Educational Bookshop in Jerusalem was again subjected to intimidation by the Israeli police yesterday. We are incredibly grateful that, in the face of this attack on free expression, our friend and colleague, Mahmoud Muna, will nonetheless join us in London today.

After BP announced it was going back to petroleum (again), #BritishMuseum Director Nick Cullinan went on BBC #FrontRow to defend its BP partnership… 🛢️🙄🏛️ But naughty Nick had a few misleading answers to Kirsty’s questions… 😮 1/x www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

NEW | Us in the Guardian on BP’s reckless plans… “BP abandoned any pretence of caring about its massive climate impacts as it recommitted to oil and gas. Now, by recommitting to partnerships with BP, #TheBritishMuseum and #ScienceMuseum have done the same.“ www.theguardian.com/business/202...

So, BP goes back to petroleum (again). And ten years on, we still haven’t learnt that Big Oil doesn’t change its DNA. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

BP CEO tells investors that it’s vision for energy transition was misplaced and that “we went too far, too fast”. This, as climate scientists have made clear how the world is not decarbonising anywhere near fast enough. #bp #netzero #fossilfuels #climate 1/x

While it’s positive that Lina Ghotmeh is gaining prominence, the fact that this #BritishMuseum project is funded with money from oil giant BP and helping give legitimacy to the firm is a huge ethical issue that can’t be ignored… www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/british...

’m a big fan of @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social and its programming, so am really disappointed to see it hiring its space out to the arms and defence industry, notably those fuelling conflict, death and human rights abuse around the world. defenceinspace.com#sponsors

Trustees at the Science Museum recently expressed unease over the museum’s ongoing sponsorship with a company belonging to Indian conglomerate Adani Group, it has emerged.

Siri, how do you define “greenwashing”? 🤔 👇👇👇

Beautiful mixed metaphor on BBC Today programme, a rep of the GMB Union sayings the government is willing to… “Grasp the nettle by the horns”

Following corruption allegations against the @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social sponsor, Adani Green, and a US indictment of Adani, the story of the shady conglomerate continues. This is further fuelled by new revelations from Culture Unstained's FOI requests. www.ft.com/content/631b...

While I fundamentally disagree with the Director of the @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social on quite a few things, I’m grateful that he has now put on record that Equinor’s sponsorship wasn’t renewed by the museum due to its failure to align with Paris Agreement goals.

With a drop in profits, BP is set to double down on its strategy of more fossil fuels and going back to petroleum. 🛢️🔥🌏 How can the @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social and #britishmuseum continue to partner with this planet-wrecking business? www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Equinor's capital markets update is live now - I am happy to report that Equinor are remaining steadfast in using this photograph of someone using a VR headset as a metaphor for them ignoring the realities of climate and energy www.equinor.com/investors/q4...

Whistleblowers have spoken out on the dangerous safety conditions at #Adani’s Carmichael coal mine in Australia! Is the @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social ok with the cavalier attitude of its sponsor to safety and health? www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Great work from @cultureunstained.bsky.social @desmog.bsky.social their latest investigation uncovers docs showing how the government helped #Shell to "stage manage" its relocation to the UK, to avoid the perception Shell was “trying to evade its #climate responsibilities.” 😲 ! 👇 From desmog.com

When even a major greenwasher doesn’t want to #greenwash with your company mired in (alleged) bribery and fraud where there’s an arrest warrant out for the #Adani Group Chairman… 😮 And yes, still waiting for @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social to act on this. 🙄 www.ft.com/content/e6b2...
