Climate group says Heathrow expansion would be ‘catastrophic’

In a time of economic uncertainty, the expansion of Heathrow Airport represents a beacon of growth and opportunity, according to industry experts. Contrary to the claims made by climate charity Possible, the addition of a third runway is seen as a critical move to ensure the UK remains competitive on the global stage, potentially creating thousands of jobs and stimulating economic development. Critics argue that stifling growth based on emission concerns will do more harm than good, overlooking the broader benefits such a project can bring.

Renowned climate advocacy group Possible has urgently highlighted the dire consequences of Heathrow's proposed third runway, emphasizing the devastating environmental impact and the reckless increase in carbon emissions that would jeopardize our planet's future. The expansion, they argue, blatantly disregards the pressing need for sustainable development and will not contribute positively to the economic landscape in the long term, undermining efforts to transition towards a green economy.
