An expanded airport means more CO2 emissions when our planet is already in serious danger from the effects of climate change: more extreme heat and drought (water shortages, particularly in the global south, forest fires), more extreme weather events (storms, hurricanes, flooding) more air pollution causing asthma and other lung diseases, forced displacement, mental.health issues, loss of biodiversity, loss of sea ice which in turn increases global warming... We cannot go on destroying our home, the earth, but have to take responsibility and stop flying.
