#FIFAWorldCup2026 has a climate problem, and it’s not just the flights.  It’s the scale of aviation, the corporate capture of football and the communities being pushed aside to make it all possible. 1/8

Threats and even an explosive attack have targeted activists who speak out against airport expansion. This is part of a political and media culture that seeks to delegitimise climate activism, while powerful aviation lobbies spread disinformation and silence dissent. 1/2

A new academic paper just confirmed what frontline communities have been shouting for decades: aviation’s “green” promises are a lie. The industry is torching the planet so the rich can keep flying. 1/

Last week EU finance ministers dodged a catastrophe - but still chose climate cowardice. Denmark proposed to the EU Governments that a tax on jet fuel would be off the table until 2035. Thankfully it didn't pass. 🧵

💬Yesterday the Council discussed once again the revision to the Energy Taxation Directive. Member States failed to reach a compromise, luckily. 📣The current Council compromise proposal is not up to the job. www.bloomassociation.org/en/energy-ta...

We need real people-powered climate solutions, not so-called climate conferences that keep fossil profits flowing #KickBigPollutersOut www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New report shows how arguments about the need to expand aviation for jobs and the economy are bullshit. What we need is a drastic reduction of aviation and to stop all airport expansion, if want a liveable future. #RedLinesForAirports

🌍 What do global cities such as Amsterdam, Stockholm and Edinburgh all have in common? These major cities have ALL banned fossil fuel adverts. These ads have massive climate and health impacts, all while targeting politically influential decision makers.

For 10 years, farmers and people from all walks of life have continuously mobilised to stop the project of a second airport in Jeju island, in South Korea. Despite falling passenger numbers, growing ecological damage and overwhelming local opposition, the government continues to push the project.

A good, short 🧵, with the first post containing a link is a Stay Grounded webpage with 8 related fact sheets. See also this breaking (Nov. 10) news on the topic: "Airlines' green claims brought back to earth by the EU": www.lexology.com/library/deta...

🔴 A Climate Law for Polluters, Confirmed. Europe’s new 2040 #ClimateTarget locks in loopholes, not real climate action. Offsets, carbon removals, and review clauses won’t phase out fossil fuels — they just buy time for polluters. Read our statement 👇 www.realzeroeurope.org/resources/pr...

Green flying is lying. Governments and the aviation industry are selling us a fairytale of green growth, but the sector plans to triple in size by 2050, doubling its fuel use and emissions. We’re debunking aviation’s greenwashing 👇 stay-grounded.org/greenwashing...

It wasn't just these guys - it was a community who won through organising! Life expectancy of those living by King County Airport is reduced by 8-10 years because of the pollution - the expansion would have made this even worse. Read more @350seattle.bsky.social: stay-grounded.org/a-question-o...

On Sunday, the Mesoamerican Caravan for Climate & Life was denied entry into Nicaragua — repression against those defending land, life & climate justice. Our struggle doesn’t stop at borders. We stand in full solidarity with the Caravan!

Since 1970, international tourism has exploded, from less than 200 million arrivals to almost 1.5 billion today. This was only possible due to the even larger growth of aviation, with billions of passengers carried every year. 1/5

Airport expansion does not create economic growth. It threatens people, planet, and prosperity. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ban night flights, stop airport expansions. We stand with communities in Ireland impacted by harmful night flights. Kids need adequate rest for their well-being. They also need urgent climate action from aviation, to help protect their futures.🌎 #RedLinesForAirports @staygroundednet.bsky.social

Educate yourself to harms of aviation. #NATS vectoring exposes communities to unmonitored noise outside flight paths. These areas are outside official noise contouring assessments.

And yet Delta Air Lines paid $0 to dump 60.6 million tonnes of CO₂ₑ into the atmosphere in 2024.

Royal Caribbean wants to turn Mahahual (Mexico) into a massive private cruise "destination". This means: ❌ Ecological destruction ❌ More air traffic & cruise ships ❌ Locals pushed out Residents are resisting ✊🏾 support them here: www.change.org/p/claudiashe...

Economy flight passengers in the US are paying for private jets in the US. This is a complete injustice - kudos to the Times for covering it 👏 /https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000010331153/private-planes-faa.html?smid=url-share

Actually, a regulated downturn in cruise tourism is starting, in Hawaii's Dept of Transport's new draft plan to reduce transport sector emissions. 50% cut in cruise by 2030 (incl. 75% for ships >3000 passengers). By 2035, 75% cut overall & no ships >3000 pax. hidot.hawaii.gov/wp-content/u... 1/2

Tourism is killing us twice: workers collapsing in deadly heat, and planes pumping out the emissions that drive it. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Night flights = climate damage + sleepless nights It’s time for airports to implement curfews. 160+ groups call for the International Day for the Ban of Night Flights at Airports on 13 Sept. 👉 Sign declaration & take action: stay-grounded.org/ban-night-fl... #BanNightFlights#RedLinesForAirports

Tilak Bahadur Jimba tells us how local communities take care of the forest and water. The Nepali government is promoting the construction of Nijgadh international airport without their consent and they will fight back against this destructive mega-project. #RedLinesForAirports

The irony is clear. But it’s our lives that are at stake. If we don't intervene, aviation will keep chasing profit until it self-destructs, taking us all with it. We need to draw red lines. We need to dismantle aviation now, to make way for a livable future.

Dutch rebels started a campsite in front of KLM (a fine holiday without flying!) to denounce their frequent flying programmes! ✊⛺️

Airlines’ green pledges...are still on the ground. From so-called SAF to refinery closures and a wide array of false promises, the industry's flight to net-zero is running on fumes, showing what we already know: the only green plane is a grounded plane. www.reuters.com/graphics/AVI...

One month ago, we were in Barcelona, Mexico City, Bangalore & online, to form new alliances and build strategies to move beyond aviation, tourism & capitalism ❤️‍🔥 📽️ Check out the longer conference video: youtu.be/uNkXcziwNR8?... 📃 Read our blog post: stay-grounded.org/wrap-up-conf...

By supporting the expansion of Heathrow Airport and spreading outright lies about decarbonising flying, Labour has again capitulated to lobbyists. This is its defining characteristic: doing whatever powerful lobbyists ask, regardless of the social, environmental and even political costs.

People are working overtime under intense heat to complete works on an airport...to serve COP30 🫠

It's about time #Seattle does something about about the senseless pollution the #blueAngels bring to the city during #SeaFair!
