Thanks to all who have posted. I have cycled all the arguments about cars etc. I even tried to apply some school chemistry to bond energies ie Breaking and Making bongs in Petrol Vs Jet A1. But hey greenines are not interested in hard science but like Hay Ewe said stats damb stats.
I also used the Bus is more efficent than a car as it carries more peole etc etc etc. Then there was the argument but of course aircraft pollute more they go faster. Try giving a lecture on fluid dynamics to a tree hugger
I will try showing said offender your replies. If all else fails I suposed I could always brand "SAY YES TO A SECOND RUMWAY AT BIRMINGHAM" on said offender
