I agree. The airport is an easy target rather than addressing the 40% of emissions from UK homes and the massive increase in China and India which frankly dwarf this country. I attended one of the weekend planning open days in the old terminal and during the 2 hours I was there, there were surprisingly few people present. In my view the vast majority are voting with their feet and using the airport rather than the small minority (some of whom have been seen using the airport!) who feel they have the right impose their will on that majority. In any event I think the Planners and the Council will bottle it and send the whole application off to a Planning Inquiry so that they can absolve themselves of the responsibility of making a decision.
