How can a Government that lectures us to use low energy bulbs and reduce our "Carbon Footprint" and lectures other countries on the use of fossil fuels justify building a third runway at Heathrow?

leftover tarmac?

Because by the time they have finished lecturing us they all need a holiday

The planes have to fly in and out of somewhere, and we might as well benefit from it.

bringing in nuclear power stations will even it all out

and how can you take the protestors seriously when they advocate looking after the enviroment but quite happily assault a fellow human being?

I thought it was pretty sick that the protesters had young kids on the front row.

There seems to be a hardcore of protesters that will show up at anything. How about get a job, pay some taxes.

Good to live in a democracy that actually allows peaceful protest though, even if I disagree with them.

I don't, I think a lot of them just turn up for a scrap with the police, some of them run up quite a few Air Miles too.
The people who live in the villages that would be flattened to make way seemed to have heir protest hijacked but their protest has been sullied by the usual Rent-a-Mob climate change protestors.

the airlines are working of reducing emissions also the 3rd runway will help reduce unnessary emissions as planes landing wont need to circle around for 30 minutes while they wait for a slot

i work at heathrow terminal 4(b.a. grease monkey)and saw vitually no protestors at all,our bosses were really worried and we were all told to take all kinds of precautions this week.however the amount of police around the airport is staggering,even more than the time the ira mortared the place.

A poker forum somewhere is discussing climate change, and they maybe wouldn't if the protest hadn't been on........
Job done.

I have just realised that I won't be around when the climate change damage happens. Where's me airmiles?

Heathrow is unsafe without a new runway, if they keep present traffic levels.....

Also, it is environmentally friendly to use as much of the local Middx environment as possible. Please build at will. Especially at Feltham.

 ;yellowcard;

My friend's house in Feltham is directly under the flight-path of heathrow - and his house is still worth a lot more than mine.  Although mine is in Tamworth.

Why do people want to live there (Feltham, not Tamworth)?

Feltham is singing out!
There are a ton of jobs around Heathrow, and Feltham is one of the cheapest places to live around there.
I did check out a house there with a mate once about 18 years ago, had no idea the place had a 'dark side'. We asked the landlady whether the bulletholes on the window were from people firing out or people firing in.....
Close to an industrial site, and just pretty rough. But if the demand is there, the prices will still follow.

 Na that would to hard for them ;whistle;

Lol, i saw one protestor chatting on tele sat next to his vw beetle, he'd driven 200 miles to protest.

1) in an old car that polutes and is not effiecent

2) WAS DESIGNED FOR ADOLF HITLER, and crash tested buy putting polish prisioners in it.

As for carbon offseting lmao, the carbon has been created, you can't undo it, planting a tree will require carbon in transportation etc, so you will be in carbon debt for ever.

did you know it takes 4x as much energy to make and ship a toyota prius than it will ever save in its life time.

recycling glass is very inefficent, grind it down to sand ffs.


Im not anti green but i am realistic, i dont waste energy or try to harm the environment, ( i deplore littering).

Rant over.........................Oh and runway good thing will save loads in stacking time thus using much less fuel, as for the poor people who loes their homes, errrrrr you moved to a spare piece of land next to an airport?

while im at it, if the world stopped eating meat, what would we do with pigs and cows? (i know milk, but we would only need a fraction of the cattle)

They had nothing on Animal Rights protestors.

I've got nothing but admiration for those people. Vivisection is one of the few things in life that truly upsets me (alongside Swansea City losing to Cardiff), and those that propagate it deserve all they bloody well get.

To reduce my carbon footprint, I have switched from pencils to biros, got my missus a cheap engagement ring where the diamond is barely visible, and swapped Ashley Cole for John Terry in my fantasy football team.

If we all do our bit, we can do this people.

Like having their relatives corpses stolen from their grave?

If you or those close to you develop AIDS/Parkinsons/Alzheimers/Schizophrenia et al. you'd be quite happy to refuse treatment? No animal experimentation, no treatment.

When the protest first started coming on the news the first interview i saw with one of the protestors was with a 40 year old white dude wth glasses, dreadlocks, and an army coat, needless to say i havnt followed the story anymore.

We had a 'green' hippy style teacher at school (over 20yrs ago) and he was always lecturing about green issues whilst most of us slept through the class - however, this was one issue he was totally against, he spent the whole 1hr and 10mins explaining the process of glass recylcing and how it uses more energy to recycle glass.  He was very passionate about it, banging the table and everything - woke us all up that did :-)

Pubs aren't allowed to recycle glasses I believe.  They have to give you a knew one when you go to the bar, rather than refilling the one you've just emptied.
