Climate Denier David Koch Leaves NYC Natural History Museum
Crossposted from Greenpeace USA: Climate Denier David Koch Leaves New York's Natural History Museum Board.
An effort spearheaded by 148 scientists concerned about climate change's impact on our lives has been answered with a victory: David Koch's term as a trustee of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City has come to an end.
Koch is best known for financing the political ambitions of his older brother, Charles Koch. Greenpeace has worked for years to expose how Charles and David Koch, and their private company Koch Industries, have sent tens of millions of dollars to groups that deny the science of climate change.
Last March, Greenpeace joined a coalition effort to cut ties between museums and donors who present a conflict of interest. The coalition was led by led The Natural History Museum, a non-profit launched in 2014 to uphold truth in our cultural institutions.
