I do not believe in airport expansion because of the environmental harm it does and the affect it has on the people who live under the flight path.

The airline industry currently enjoys tax breaks and other hidden subsidies worth some �9 billion a year. I agree with the Green Party that these should end. If the industry was made to pay its way then there would be no need for more airports or expansions.

Hmmm. Fly now and swim later or just stay earthbound? Bring on the buses. Vote Green.

If we base aviation policy on predict-and-provide we will increasingly lock ourselves into unsustainable lifestyles incompatible with climatic stability.

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.
