Nice to see on BBCs prog. tonight "Should I Really Give Up Flying" (taking a look at air tourism and its impact on the environment) when they showed all the regional airports in UK marked with little red symbols: all obviously about to cause the icecaps to turn to mush, that even dear little Lands End Airport (possibly Penzance heliport at a pinch) won its own symbol....Bless.

Couldn't be a nicer, more green and pleasant little strip in the country, what has it done to upset the BBC ?

I should say that the reporters were quite honest in listing all the flights they took to make the show, plus film from a hot air balloon ride. Not sure what it all really proved, when we really need to sort out the other 98% of man-made effects causing the perceived global warming, but we all know that already.
