I am strongly opposed to the expansion of Gatwick Airport on the grounds that we are in a climate emergency that is already causing large scale human suffering and unless we drastically reduce CO2 emissions it is going to lead to millions of people being displaced from parts of the world that will no longer be habitable. Any airport expansion will lead to significant increases in CO2 emissions, not just from the additional flights, but also the increases in traffic to and from the airport.
