More than 30 protesters led by Youth Action for Climate Justice and Scientists for Extinction Rebellion have occupied the Science Museum’s new climate gallery, Energy Revolution, over its sponsorship by the coal giant and arms manufacturer, Adani. Naturalist and broadcaster Chris Packham joined the group as they began their protest. Over the weekend, protesters took part in a two-day protest, sleeping overnight inside the museum. The group had planned to hold a public assembly to discuss what could be a suitable sponsor for the gallery, but the museum decided to close the exhibition to the public on Saturday, preventing the protesters and the pile of coal they had built from being seen by the public. The action was widely reported in the media.
