I have real concerns about the climate impact of building a new runway. Flying has one of the biggest carbon footprints of any form of travel and building a new runway is not in line with the UKs commitments to the Paris climate treaty. A third runway will also have serious implications for the residents of the Gatwick area with regards to air pollution, from increased flights and increased traffic. It will also have a significant impact on noise and light pollution.
