" Their policy is in tatters, they made the wrong judgement about this, we made the right decision, there is no case for it on environmental grounds,there is no strong business case for it"
The above words were spoken by David Cameron following the Labour governments defeat in the high court over the need for a third runway at Heathrow Airport.
Back on February 1st 2012 i posted to this site how the Labour government lost the case for a third runway at Heathorw. The conditions that the Labour government lost to then have not changed now. Indeed things have got worse for ANY new airports being built in the UK. Given the fact that Arctic ice has reduced further than at anytime in history, means that we cannot build new airports and expect to hit agreed co2 emission cuts.
The central tenet of why the Labour government lost in the High Court was that they failed to take into account the effect a new runway would have on climate change. Since then climate change has been radically altered for the worse, meaning that given the circumstances as they are now there is no case for ANY new airport builds,to do so would mean exacerbating an already critical climate change future for the planet.
Since the planet is everything,sacrificing and jeopardising the planet for money, business or profit is simply madness, without a planet money becomes superfluous, therefore rather than build more airports, we should be closing them to cut our co2 emissions that are melting the polar ice caps.
Failure to reduce our co2 emissions and our dependence on oil and other fossil fuels will make it impossible to pull back from climate change judegement day that is inevitable if the very people who should be protecting the planet, seek only profit and business oportunities, namely our own politicians.
