April 16 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - London’s Science Museum came under fire on Friday for having oil and gas major Royal Dutch Shell as a sponsor of an upcoming exhibition on climate change, a move described by environmental groups as “out-of-step”.
The British museum is set to reopen after coronavirus lockdowns in May with “Our Future Planet”, a display focusing on carbon capture - the process by which planet-warming gases are sucked out of the atmosphere and stored below ground.
The exhibition, which comes as Britain prepares to host a major U.N. climate summit in November, lists Shell as one of its main sponsors - drawing the ire of green activists.

MILAN, March 6 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Public figures from writers to lawmakers have launched a campaign ahead of International Women s Day to change a leading Italian dictionary s sexist definition of a woman, which currently includes 30 different words for a sex worker.
About 100 high-profile Italians signed a letter demanding changes to the Treccani online dictionary after a similar campaign forced the Oxford English dictionary to alter its definition last year.
They argue that terms with negative connotations like puttana (whore) and cagna (bitch) should be dropped from a list of synonyms - and point out that the synonyms listed under man are broadly positive.
