said outside the conference:

“Shell’s role today is outrageous. Shell sponsors climate conferences and art galleries in order to prevent real climate action: leaving fossil fuels in the ground.

Bill McKibben will speak later today at both King’s College London and the London School of Economics and Politics, where students are campaigning for their university’s endowments to divest from destructive fossil fuel companies like Shell.
