I do not support this project on the following grounds: 1. Climate change. Aviation is a major emitter of carbon dioxide and there must be no expansion of aviation untill and unless it can demonstrate it is genuinely zero carbon. There is no possibility that the industry's proposed use of so-called 'sustainable avaition fuel, hydrogen or electric planes can properly decarbonise aviation before 2050. 2. Noise. There is a wealth of evidence of the significant harms to health and wellbeing caused by aircraft noise, and I know from personal experience how horrible it can be living under a flight path. There should be no expansion of aviation until the amount of noise produced by aircraft is significantly reduced.
