So-called 'sustainable' aviation fuel is not going to get flying to net zero. Right now, the only way to cut emissions from flying is to fly less. Please sign and share this petition to STOP ALL AIRPORT EXPANSIONS! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... Shell abandons SAF:

Today’s Progress Report by the CCC warns that the continued increase in emissions from aviation has undermined some of the recent gains made in the electricity supply and industrial sectors, and “could put future targets at risk”. Basically, aviation emissions are not falling fast enough #FlyLess

Isn't this interesting? Maybe us aviation campaigners should have a whip-round and get Mr Kane a curry?

5/5 🧵 Governments should not be subsidising aviation biofuels - the polluter should pay, not the taxpayer. The industry argues it needs financial support but governments must not give into their pressure. The only reliable way to cut emissions from flying is to fly less.

1/5 🧵 #Greenwashing alert! The #aviation industry pushes #biofuels as a "climate solution". But biofuels are dangerously unsustainable - they are nothing more than a false solution Read this factsheet to find out more: stay-grounded.org/wp-content/u...

Doesn't it bug you that the entire aviation industry pays no fuel duty on its climate-wrecking kerosene fossil fuel? Imagine how much money the govt could raise if flying was taxed fairly! ££££££££ billions

Here are some more survey results, from More in Common, that show the broad support for getting to net zero and the small opposition to taking climate action

Question: what do the Chuckle Brothers have in common with Jet Zero’s approach to dealing with the climate damage caused by allowing airports to expand? Go to GALBA’s FB page to find out: www.facebook.com/GfAoLBA

What an amazing turnout at the High Court today for GALBA and @wearepossible.bsky.social to launch our Judicial Review against the govt’s reckless expansionist aviation strategy.

For some misguided reason, government ministers seem to think their support for airport expansions will make them more popular. They should take a look at the results of this very recent YouGov survey. Thank you @wearepossible.bsky.social

Another great letter in the Yorkshire Post today. The message is loud and clear: more growth will bring more pollution, more noise and more congestion to the region. #NoAirportExpansion

GALBA's letter in the YEP today explains why airport expansion cannot be described as 'sustainable' growth. You either accept scientific facts or you don't. If you don't, you're in a fantasy world

@pmkierstarmer.bsky.social On 27 Feb 2020, you tweeted "Congratulations to the climate campaigners. There is no more important challenge than the climate emergency. That is why I voted against Heathrow expansion." The climate crisis has got worse, not better since then. Please stop airport expansion

GALBA is a small group of concerned citizens - trying to stop airport expansion for the sake of the climate and our community. We work hard to keep this issue in the spotlight. Today we are on the front page of the Yorkshire Evening Post highlighting a recent report by the Institute of Actuaries!
