WA museum tells staff ‘almost all of us are guilty’ of burning fossil fuels in email defending Woodside partnership Exclusive: Climate advocates reject CEO’s claim he is ‘not qualified’ to comment on risks of gas firm’s plan to extend production to 2070

Yet another head of a #science and #culture body showing their lack of understanding of #climate_science, and the lengths they will go to diminish and deflect the issue, and all the while patronising its staff.

2 minutes later my comment has gone.

The censorship at #TheClimateCouncil is a type of #Greenwashing. They literally won't feature comments that call out the #WAmuseum.

#TheClimateCouncil are calling out Woodside for greenwashing, but don't include #WAMuseum for greenwashing on their behalf to children.

Of course, my comment will be deleted from their page.
