Firstly, any further expansion means easing the use of aviation thus leading to further increase of greenhouse gas emissions as well as the non-GHG impacts of aviation that further increase the already dangerous level of global warming. Bear in mind that the CO2 emissions from aviation are not fully considered and their actual impact according to the latest scientific assessments, is three times higher. Both myself and my "family group" are impacted by the dangers created by this via heatwaves and floods which are present already but due to intensify year by year. Secondly, local life will be impacted by increased air traffic, levels of noise and pollution.
