Does one arm of the Government not see what the other is doing? We hear pledges to cut Carbon Dioxide emissions by 60% by 2050 and at the same time we hear that the discredited 'predict and provide' approach will be used to cater for endlessly expanding air travel. This is irresponsibility of the grossest kind.

Against airport expansion!! In London, at any point in time, there are at least 10 crafts in the sky, polluting, but also making a constant NOISE. Please stop expanding airports!

I am strongly opposed to Airport expansion in this country. The pollution it will cause is exactly the kind of thing that Mr. Blair warned us about in his recent speech on Climate Change and Global Warming.

In a time where our kids future is at stake because of global warming we should be contracting not expanding producers of greenhouse gas.

I strongly oppose any proposed airport expansion as it will increase air traffic and add to already excessive CO2 emmissions that are causing global warming.

We should not all be made to suffer (through increased pollution, noise, climate change etc) to satisfy the appetite of a minority for �9 tickets to Barcelona.

I cannot believe how the Government can acknowledge climate change as the greatest threat to the future on one hand, and encourage air transport on the other. This is either madness or hypocrisy.

I am in abject opposition to the over exploitation & destruction of our biosphere, for which I rate airport expansion as a hiedeous example

The Government needs to stop paying lip sevice to environmental issues and should stop being so contradictory in their policies. If you are serious about our future Tony, start acting now!
