Monbiot urges Burnham to block Heathrow third runway
Original: The expansion of Heathrow would be an expensive disaster for Britain and the world. Burnham needs to block it
Guardian columnist George Monbiot has called Heathrow's proposed third runway an 'expensive disaster' for Britain and the world, urging Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham to block the plan. He argues that expanding aviation contradicts climate goals and that prioritising human life over short-term growth means flying less, not more.
Why now: Renewed debate over Heathrow expansion plans and their climate impact has put the issue back in the news.
