I wanted to respond to a story in the Guardian in which a campaign group that opposes sponsorship by oil companies highlights the Science Museum's relationship with Shell, with whom the museum has a long-standing partnership. Shell was a major funder of Atmosphere, our climate science gallery which provides our visitors with accurate, up-to-date information on what is known, what is uncertain, and what is not known about this important subject. The gallery has been hugely popular since it opened four years ago and has now been visited by more than 3 million people.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_atmosphere_exhibit.jpg
