surely these CO2 levels would drop if the "Greens" stayed at home
Levels would go down if they shut their mouths too
Seriously, i can see where they are coming from and agree that we must look for alternative/reusable energy but restricting airport growth and therefore making it even harder for the economy is not the way to go. I think people tend to forget that Britain is not a world influence any more, any attempt to set a standard would go largely ignored.
In the case of LBA, i hope it gets this much needed expansion, it is the only airport in the Yorkshire and Humber capable of providing a diverse network of routes. Its location is not the best but thats the way it will stay. They should make the very best of a less than ideal situation. A rail link to the station would help with connectivity.
