We must meet our legal obligation to achieve the net zero target by 2050. The sooner we reduce our carbon emissions the easier and cheaper this will become. Increasing air traffic is completely counter to this initiative and could be viewed as an illegal act. The governments Jet Zero greenwash is just wishful thinking to enable polluting industries to carry on as normal, whilst appearing to do something about the climate crisis. Airport expansion must be strongly resisted.
