'The UK prime minister is set to declare one of the most ambitious targets in the world for tackling climate change.' bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir… Pardon? Massive road building; new coal mine; oil and gas licenses; unfettered airport expansion; cuts APD... The Earth Dies Screaming

Is there a climate emergency or not? It’s quite simple - if there is, stop fannying around. You can have expansion in aviation, you can have a planet that allows your children to thrive. You can’t have both.

Airport expansion in the face of climate emergency is swivel eyed lunacy. If this government champions shipping Kenyan green beans and taking the inked on yet another olidee above the preservation of their own children’s planet it is guilty of ecocide. @GretaThunberg

The '000s of jobs, boost to the local economy, public consultation, world class noise insulation and caps on traffic are all cobblers; one councillor asked why it was being done with such haste - because any airport expansion will soon be socially unacceptable Cue Gatwick frenzy

All the time Boris ‘remains supportive’ of airport expansion and sees no problem with flying to Cornwall, the U.K.’ claim to be world leaders at tackling climate change is risible

Which is why all of the expansion it proposes will be sustainable - a 'runway-lite' (and just one other additional one) with eerily silent 'whisper' jets powered by pixie dust and emitting only baby's breath. Take your £5; climate emergency must mean zero growth in aviation

Peter Knapp air qual expert to BRS enquiry - 'carbon offsetting is a con' - EasyJet trees cut down before mature, Ryanair offsets just 0.1% of emissions. 'SAF is also a con'. The SoS 'needs to be educated'. It is our duty to reduce pollution - airport expansion does the opposite

How about CAA is called into disrepute and disbanded and replaced by a truly independent body that does not lie about crashes and fatalities to mask airports’ illegal expansion.

Manston nevermade any sense - the public needs to know exactly what prompted ‘Two Planes’ Shapps/Fox/StockheathGreen to make such a ludicrous decision so that people living with the sword of Damocles hanging over them around 8 airports seeking expansion understand the challenge

The foxes remain in charge of the hen house Sorry @COP26 @GretaThunberg @AttenboroughSir - anything you hear in Glasgow from the U.K. government will be totally bogus - it supports road building, fossil fuel extraction and ‘remains supportive’ of airport expansion. @XRebellionUK

Climate emergency has to mean no expansion in aviation, anywhere - not 50% less growth, 50% reduction via the imposition of fair taxes. This is not a rehearsal @GretaThunberg @ICCAN_UK @icao

Almost unbelievable hypocrisy. @GretaThunberg can you see the magnitude of our challenge - here is a member of a government that has declared a climate emergency, then immediately backs expansion that can only fry the planet. 'Sustainable expansion' in aviation is an oxymoron

The longer it abrogates its duty to deliver a national moratorium on airport expansion in light of the climate emergency the more hollow it’s green credentials appear. @guardian @ObserverUK @robertcourts @mrjamesob @XRebellionUK @TheGreenParty @GreenpeaceUK @GretaThunberg

Please ensure that 'runway airport expansion' includes @Gatwick_Airport 's devious, dishonest plan to turn a taxiway into a runway in line with Fayling's 'policy' to maximise use of existing infrastructure - climate emergency trumps the lot; zero expansion. Period.

The reason UK airports are clamouring to get expansion nodded through in double quick time is that they know there's a 5hit storm coming. @UK_CAA @ICCAN_UK @transportgovuk @grantshapps @PaulMaynardUK @LGWobviouslyNOT @Gatwick_Airport @CAGNE_GATWICK @Crowsays_no @The_AEF

Which is why I don't understand why @GregClarkMP continues to do f**k all; when the Disgusteds find out that Jaywick's monstrous expansion plans will destroy TW they'll want his sweetbreads on a plate, but still he slithers around avoiding the issue - we must call him out
