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

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.

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...
