I should add, though, that my personal opposition to the expansion of aviation in the UK is not related to climate change. It is simply that I would prefer to see airlines migrate to Schiphol and Frankfurt than see another hectare of this mostly green and pleasant land disappear beneath tarmac, and I think that our aim should be to make the UK's airports the best in the world rather than the biggest. That does not make me anti-aviation - quite the opposite, I think.
Shall we ban cars, buses, trains, ships. Close down all the polluting power stations, move all industry outside of the UK and revert to middle ages farmers then when the lights go out?

Oh no, cows produce methane which is worse for the environment than a Range Rover.

Brilliant deduction Sherlock.
