This is a story of hope in the face of widespread consternation
over the global climate crisis. For many people concerned about
global warming, the 2018 vote by UK parliamentarians to proceed
with the plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport was a
devastating blow. Aviation was predicted to make up some 25% of the
UK's carbon emissions by 2050 and so the decision seemed to fly in
the face of the UK's commitment to be a climate leader. Can the UK
expand Heathrow airport, bringing in 700 extra planes a day, and
still stay within ambitious carbon budgets? One legal case sought
to answer this question. Campaigning lawyers argued that plans for
a third runway at one of the world's busiest airports would
jeopardise the UK's ability to meet its commitments under the 2015
Paris Agreement on climate change. This book traces the dramatic
story of how the case was prepared - and why international aviation
has for so long avoided meaningful limits on its expansion. -- .
