Re: Heathrow expansion to go ahead
Earth's climate is always changing. It never stays the same. Thus any government which attempts to contradict the course of nature isn't well thought out. The earth has been warming, for the most part for 26,000 years. It wasn't airplane emissions which brought us out of the ice age. It is as likely that we are going to get cooler as it is that we are going to get warmer.
A more rational climate change policy would recognize the inevitibility of climate change of some sort or another and try to plan stratagies for us to adapt to new realities rather than wasting a lot of time and energy attempting to control that which is beyond our current abilities.
Cutting CO2 emissions by 100% probably wouldn't have any long term effects on the earth. If it did, it would probably be something entirely different than what was expected.
