Yes, JH does make some illfounded observations in this article.
The theme however, touches a very valid point; How long is the exponential growth in aviation going to be globally sustainable in EVERY sense (not just environmental).
There is a day of reckoning coming for any industry completely dependant on the turning of black gold into noise and pollution.
....or so said the prophet of doom.
A third runway at LHR would go a long way to reducing that noise though......
