Activists took to the steps of the Metropitan Museum of Art Sunday to protest climate change denial. 

Members of the group "Rise and Resist" are taking issue with the Met's relationship with the Koch family. 

According to a study conducted by Green peace, the Koch Family Foundations have spent more than $1 million directly financing groups that have attacked climate change science and policy solutions.

The activists demand the Met stop accepting donations from the Koch family and remove David Koch's name from the plaza in front of the museum.

“You can't bribe the laws of physics, you can't persuade the laws of physics. They are what they are, climate change is happening, its happening faster than anybody really expected it would. We have a very short window of time left to make the world habitable,” said Activist Claire Ullman.

We reached out to Koch Industries and the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a statement and both did not respond in time for the publishing of this article.
