I have never flown. I appreciate world and some national flights are necessary for governemnent and businesses, but pleasure flying should be curbed = less pollution.

After my first flight last year, I was shocked at the speed of turnover and the amount of flights per minute. Something must be done to curb this excess.

I study German and fly regularly to Germany, but I would willingly use rail and bus options if they were cheaper (I do when they are.) The fact that there is no tax on air fuel is a very serious omission. We urgently need to consider the long term effects of this for Britain and our global habitat as a whole. Allowing airport expansion does not take these vital issues into account.

I am very concerned about climate change and global warming: therefore opposed to any expansion of runways or air travel because they cause the generation of high levels of CO2. Tourism by air should be discouraged by a air travel tax.

It seems to be all out war on the environment these days. I will be taking action - demos/rallies, boycotts, letter writing and direct action.

As a major source of greenhouse gases the UK government's proposal of airport expansion and subsidy is a complete contradiction of Tony Blair's promise to curb emissions at the G8 summit in 2005!!

Cheap flights that cost the earth! Would like to see drastic increase in fuel charges and airport taxes with money used to fund sustainable transport.

Increasing air traffic is going to be devastating for our world. I completely oppose expanding airports and incresing air pollutionl.
