Chris Packham joins Extinction Rebellion in Science Museum sponsor protest

Supporters of Extinction Rebellion were joined by broadcaster and environmental campaigner Chris Packham as they staged a protest at a gallery in the Science Museum in London.

We intend to stay the weekend in protest against the museum's sponsorship deal with coal producer and human rights abuserProtesters led by Youth Action for Climate Justice held up a series of banners, including “Teach us the truth” and “Adani kills”, and created a display of black balls symbolising coal.

Speaking to the protesters, Packham said: “Science tells us that the fossil fuel industry is responsible for the accelerating destruction of our natural world. The Science Museum is a place to spark imagination, to provide answers but also to encourage us to ask questions.
