What do you do when divestment isn't enough? This video is about the dissociate movement, and how university research into the Earth and its climate is funded by fossil fuel companies.

University divestment, divest from fossil fuels, dissociate movement, dissociate from the fossil fuel industry. This video is about the campaign to stop fossil fuel companies like Shell and BP from financing research at universities, and particularly looking at the role they play at my universities: the University of Oxford and the University of Exeter.
