Whilst the public are being told of the possible consequences of global warming, caused in large part by increased CO2 emissions it seems disingenuous to consider increasing airport capacity. What is the point in driving electric cars, stopping use of plastic bags, conserving water etc if we are to undo all that good work by encouraging more and more air travel. We should be looking at ways of reducing travel by air. I fear this development is purely based on commercial and financial reasons with no consideration for the future of our planet.
