Although I understand the need for Luton Council to create jobs and revenue for the town, I disagree with the increase in pollution and co2 emissions that will accompany a bigger airport. Yes jobs are important; but we’re custodians of this lovely world and need to take heed of scientific advice and do all we can to lower carbon emissions over the next few decades. Nobody is yet suggesting we stop flying, but to increase passenger numbers flies in the face of common sense, scientific consensus and sends the wrong message to the world about our bona fides as a leader in green technology and cutting emissions.
