👏In her evidence to the @CommonsEAC, Alethea Warrington of @_wearepossible says financial measures are needed to ensure that those who fly the most should shoulder the cost of decarbonisation, while those who fly once a year would pay the least. 1/3
Climate action isn’t about stopping people from enjoying a well-earned break — it’s about making the biggest polluters take responsibility. Tired of the blame game? Tell us what you think in the comments👇
Heathrow third runway ‘won’t be cheap’, says chief executive - You can say that again. It will be seriously expensive in environmental damage, not to mention displacing some 15,000 people from their homes on.ft.com/3TV8r0X via @FT
Time and again #nightflights come up as one of the worst impacts of living near an airport. Congratulations to @galba_action who stopped Leeds Bradford Airport from re-writing the rules galba.uk/our-campaigns/…
That’s before you add in the environmental & health costs as well as the destruction of local communities ft.com/content/b137a2…

I am sorry that the chancellor had a tough day. But, if her and her colleagues' plans for Heathrow expansion go ahead, a lot of people will have a lot worse than a tough day, with noise, particulates, climate changing gases, and home evictions. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
At the recent @cisha_org Open Forum, I asked the @HeathrowAirport CEO, Thomas Woldbye if Heathrow could afford up to £60bn expansion costs. He said he "did not recognise that figure". Attached is yesterday's article by in the Times to assist in him (even if he disagrees)

"Priority, comprehensive, coherent action on the fossil fuel phaseout within this decade is necessary to ensure a liveable future for all, as an urgent precondition for a just transition and for effective human rights protection...." documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/…
Have you received a glossy leaflet from ‘community group’ Back Heathrow. If so, you should read this. teddingtonactiongroup.com/2025/06/29/bac…
Should we criminalise the peddling of fossil fuel misinformation? A UN expert thinks we should. In her damning new report, Elisa Morgera, calls for states to ban fossil fuel ads and lobbying, and criminalise greenwashing 👏👏@SRclimatechange 1/2 theguardian.com/environment/20…

This £4.25bn "hit" to help feed and house our disabled and pensioners is a mere fraction of what Heathrow plans to spend on its environmentally disastrous expansion. We have our priorities all wrong! - on.ft.com/4kjrdKi via @FT
🚨⛔ Airport expansion remains incompatible with meeting our climate targets, so adding a third runway at Heathrow would be hugely irresponsible. Add your name to demand no more airport expansion while we’re in a climate emergency: foe.uk/as7j0 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
