We've been talking about a third runway for decades, but the fundamental problem is Heathrow is surrounded on all sides by critical infrastructure that can't easily be moved, @chadceleste.bsky.social tells @stevehreports.bsky.social.

This feels a bit like #Heathrow already know the plan is so outrageous it will likely suffocate like HS2. But let's see how realistic a £50bn scheme is www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Is #SAF the best environmental use of waste feedstocks? Unfortunately, no. Read more in our new report @theaef.bsky.social @green-alliance.org.uk www.aef.org.uk/2025/07/18/i...

Time and again #nightflights come up as one of the worst impacts of living near an airport. Congratulations to @galba.uk who stopped Leeds Bradford Airport from re-writing the rules: www.galba.uk/our-campaign... @theaef.bsky.social @wearepossible.bsky.social

Want to learn more about the current debate happening around airport expansion, aviation alternative fuels and decarbonisation? Here's @chadceleste.bsky.social explaining the uncertainty around alternative fuels and what we should do about it 💪 4/4 www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwyV...

@chadceleste.bsky.social, AEF’s Policy Manager, told MPs on the Committee that UK aviation is not decarbonising fast enough. Consequently, airport expansion is irresponsible and the Government should be wary of an over-reliance on so-called Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs). 2/4

Is UK aviation decarbonising fast enough? Last month the @commonseac.parliament.uk held a session investigating whether airport expansion is compatible with the UK's climate and nature targets. AEF was invited to give evidence. 1/4 www.aef.org.uk/2025/06/05/u...

As our Policy Manager, @chadceleste.bsky.social, outlined in front of the @commonseac.parliament.uk last week, aviation is not decarbonising fast enough and other policy measures, such as demand measures and frequent flyer levies, need to be considered. 4/4

First @thecccuk.bsky.social said a Heathrow third runway would risk torpedoing the UK’s climate goals & now the DfT's own research shows the massive climate impacts. It’s also clear we can’t rely on the silver bullet of sustainable aviation fuel to save the day.

My kids are obsessed with Race Across the world www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-... it's so nice to see mainstream TV extolling the virtues of slow travel @flightfreeuk.bsky.social #flightfree

A thoughtful read on the new planning bill #PIB & its disregard for nature www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

bizarre decision but it looks like it's already drawing more attention to this perfectly innocuous and valuable bit of public service podcasting 🤷‍♀️ as I'm not a BBC employee I can tell it like it is: heat pumps are great! UK needs policies & industry investment to extend the benefits to everyone

Expanding Luton Airport at this time “is a huge environmental gamble, with uncertain economic prospects, and exposing many local residents to higher levels of noise and air pollution,” explains Tim Johnson, AEF’s director 😷☁️🛬 www.edie.net/london-luton...

I've just signed this petition to keep the passenger cap at Dublin Airport to protect our climate and our children's futures. Will you sign too? my.uplift.ie/petitions/ke...

Will airport expansion lead to growth? @thecccuk.bsky.social says #Aviation will be the biggest emitting sector by 2040, & that's without non-CO2 impacts such as #contrails which double the impact. @theaef.bsky.social

Wooo! 🥳 Keep going y'all petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Great progress on day three of our petition: thanks to the nearly 500 people who have signed. Can we reach the next 500? Please sign and share, and help us tell the government we don't want airport expansion: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

We are pleased to present AEF's Annual Report for 2024, where we reflect on the key highlights from our work over the past year. Take a look to get insights into Government policy, biodiversity, airport expansion and more! www.aef.org.uk/2025/03/24/a...

What’s the state of European aviation in 2025? @transenv.bsky.social takes a look 👀 Europe is set to save 20 million tonnes of CO2 this year thanks to the EV transition, but increased air travel is undermining this success. 1/2 www.transportenvironment.org/state-of-eur...

Hundreds of lives wiped out in Gaza overnight—families, children, gone in an instant. This is horrific. The UK cannot stay complicit. We must use every diplomatic tool to fight for justice and end all arms sales to Israel now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...

Still scratching your head over the @theCCCuk's seventh carbon budget and its implications for UK aviation? Look no further than our new blog written by @chadceleste.bsky.social 🌟 1/2 www.aef.org.uk/2025/03/14/a...

The murmurations are such a Brighton institution, it’s a disaster to be losing the starlings for something so needless! Please email your MP and ask them to support my Bill to ban pesticide use in public spaces: edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

Yet another study shows the primary reason for high household energy bills is high wholesale gas prices. This really should be obvious by now, but it apparently needs saying again. www.businessgreen.com/news/4410245...

Don't believe the hype, the Planning Inspectorate recommended against #Gatwick expansion, and climate was a big reason

So #Gatwick decision is delayed for further info on transport links and noise. It would have been horrible timing to approve it just one day after @thecccuk.bsky.social said #aviation demand needs to fall @theaef.bsky.social

The rumours are building on #Gatwick expansion, but nothing has changed in #aviation decarbonisation @heidialexander.bsky.social. Yet more evidence from @mpwatch.bsky.social that we can't allowing emissions to rise based on very risky evidence that #SAF will deliver www.mpwatch.org/blog/sustain...

Thank you SO MUCH to the amazing @joy.msnbc.com for shouting out my Substack today. You will be DEARLY missed. I’ll be following you wherever you go!

Remember that "a lot has changed in the #aviation industry"? from Rachel Reeves (ie. #SAF is the answer to allowing #Heathrow to expand)? Well, guess what, the industry is asking for "policy makers to support" the cost of #SAF www.greenairnews.com?p=6665

"Ask your MP to stop airport expansion The Chancellor is set to give the go-ahead to new runways which will set our climate on course for a crash landing" Email your MP to stop these plans from taking off: action.wearepossible.org/page/164836/... via @wearepossible.bsky.social

I remain slightly baffled by the political wisdom of pinning your growth strategy on the single most complex and controversial option from which you're unlikely to get growth or popularity in this or the next Parliament. www.ft.com/content/a167...

"Heathrow’s third runway would be one of the most destructive infrastructure projects this country has ever considered [and] will leave our climate targets out of reach," says Tim Johnson, AEF's Director, in the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Los Angeles is burning, the UK is experiencing more and stronger storms than ever before, and our Chancellor wants to increase flying within and to and from the UK. We've written to tell her why we think that from an #AirPollution and #Climate perspective, this is unbelievable. #Heathrow

What would Heathrow third runway mean for carbon emissions, air pollution, and noise? More, more, more ... Analysis by me #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Want to know why #HeathrowExpansion is a really bad idea? Look no further #ExpansionRebellion manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526162359/

Academic Richard Sulley outlines why airport expansion undermines climate goals: “Unfortunately aviation is a prime example of the Jevons effect where any improvement in efficiency has been wiped out by increased demand.” theconversation.com/expanding-he...

Yes quite sad that we need to consider #ExpansionRebellion yet again. There are so many other things that need our time and attention and to realise that this most emblematic of battles needs to be held again is exhausting

Scratching your head about how #Heathrow will argue expansion won't blow the UK #Carbonbudgets @thecccuk.bsky.social - listen to Matt Gorman for your answer: green.simpliflying.com/p/matthew-go...

Ah, do we really have to do the #ExpansionRebellion again. Almost 6 years after it was emphatically shown that Heathrow expansion alone would put our climate targets in jeopardy, Rachel Reeves wants to expand Heathrow, Gatwick AND Luton www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025....

What a heartbreaking story

@matthewsnedker.bsky.social hi Matthew I'm hoping to chat to you about wood burning and air pollution in Darlington. Can we Dm?

There no absolutely no way we can grow the aviation sector in the next decades while having a safe climate www.rte.ie/news/environ...
