If LBA gets its way, this is what will happen to Leeds ambition to cut greenhouse gas emissions. If anyone still claims that climate change doesn't cause extreme weather, go ask the 100s of 1000s of people evacuated from their homes in France, Spain and Scotland because of uncontrollable wildfires

Let's hope that the new Chancellor, John Healey, can understand simple sums such as these & stand up to Treasury pressure for #Heathrow expansion. #Don'tGrowHeathrow #No3rdRunway

Govt assessment of Heathrow expansion costs v benefits: -£23bn to -£62bn (yes, that's MINUS £23 billion up to MINUS 62 billion) for the UK, rising to -£121 billion for its global impact, due to climate damage. Thanks to @neweconomics.bsky.social for spotting this. www.linkedin.com/posts/alex-c...

LBA thinks it can ignore the Council's decision on night flights and fly as many as it wants. LBA is wrong and the Council must take enforcement action when LBA next breaks the night flight rules. Write to your local councillors to demand the same. More info here: www.galba.uk/our-campaign...

Do the govt's plans to decarbonise aviation add up? The two words that come up time and again are "high risk". We're talking about climate change and the destruction of human civilisation. We should not take a "high risk" that the aviation sector will keep on pumping out greenhouse gas emissions

Today, the @theCCCuk published its annual progress report to Parliament, and it reveals serious deficiencies in the plan to decarbonise aviation 🧵 1/5 www.aef.org.uk/2026/06/24/c...

This is outrageous!

The government has rushed policy through “with very little meaningful consultation with the very people” who would pay the price – “communities living under the flight paths and those whose homes will be destroyed or rendered uninhabitable”, says Celeste Hicks. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Andrea Egan, Unison: “There’s a dangerous belief in Whitehall that some sectors are vital for economic growth and get a free pass to ignore their climate impact. One example is the government’s support for unlimited airport expansion, including at Heathrow.” labourlist.org/2026/06/econ...

The govt says it will only allow Heathrow and other airports to expand if they pass four tests - climate, noise, pollution, economics. But what should those tests mean? @theaef.bsky.social @wearepossible.bsky.social @noairportexp.bsky.social @safelanding.bsky.social www.aef.org.uk/2026/06/08/a...

AEF and other NGOs urge government to define dangerously “ambiguous” tests that will define airport expansion for years to come - Aviation Environment Federation

AEF, alongside a coalition of NGOs, have created a briefing demonstrating what the 'four tests' for any airport should actually look like in order to protect the public and the environment.

Night flights decision: LBA got their CLEUD but they didn't get unlimited night time flying. However they did get 941 extra night flights a year on top of the 4,000 already allowed. We think this is an error of law and we're looking at legal action. More here: www.galba.uk/news-updates...
