Agreed Baron. The one thing green lobby and "NIMBY's" seem to (convieniently) forget is the effect the amount of holding has on emmissions. It could be plausibly argued that additional runway capacity in the South East will infact
reduce emissions because of improved flow = reduced delays = less emissions. So aren't the anti's actually making the situation worse...?
At some point a runway WILL be built in the SE England. Fact. The inevitable public enquiry into the second runway at STN will delay it by a couple more years at least - probably be ready 6-12 months after the Olympics have finished
Aviation will only ever be a small part of the solution to global warming ..... because it is only a small part of the problem - another point convieniently the greens.
I do not deny that we must all do our bit - and I do. But I'm tired of being depicted as the anti-christ by certain elements (many of whom are hypocrites...) because of my chosen career.
