The decision makers need to listen to their own scientific advisors; the CCC who have clearly stated that there should be no airport expansions. There should also be a cumulative impact assessment of the carbon impact of all the current expansion plans, rather than them being approved piecemeal. It is likely that this would show that we have no chance of reaching our legally binding targets under the Climate Change Act if we continue to approve the expansion of airports in the UK.
