Life - if you can call it that - in a noise contour where LHR states dB level is not a problem

@kirstycalvert @HeathrowNoise Remember to complain on [email protected] or on 0800344844. Tweets are not included in the #noise complaint statistics. You will get the usual bland, corporate response from the sub-contracted staff, but no complaints = acceptance in their eyes.

The key lesson for post-covid economics is that you do not need growth to solve a crisis of unemployment. Shorten the working week, distribute income and wealth more fairly, and introduce a Green New Deal job guarantee.

France is to ban commercial flights on all domestic routes were there is an alternative ‘rail-link’ of less than two and a half hours to prevent low-cost carriers like EasyJet and Ryanair picking up the links Air France is being forced to abandon. https://t.co/dynnhSDK6P

@HeathrowNoise Unbelievable noise from Lagos flight, just gone over. Too loud, too low and too polluting

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

As the Arctic burns under a record heatwave, with temperatures soaring to 45C, economists are lining up to call for more growth. The discipline is increasingly unhinged from reality.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

I feel like this miraculous planet is slipping right out from under us. Too many people who see what's happening, who totally get the science, still aren't acting like this is a climate and ecological emergency. So entrenched norms persist and everyone keeps burning.

@timpwalker @HeathrowCEB @HACAN1 @yourHeathrow Note “some”. Claimed reductions on per flight basis (on paper),fails to address absolute increase in enviro impacts by increase in planes overall. ACOG is run by seconded Heathrow staff & Mark Swan,he signed PBN into policy so has interest in delivering. https://t.co/QQWHNHehLK

@timpwalker @HeathrowCEB @HACAN1 @yourHeathrow Their airspace plans are not for the benefit of overflown. Low flying is choice of airlines to reduce cost of engine wear. Expansion affects how they plan to intensify use of our airspace.

Geraldine Nicholson from SHE is explaining to residents that despite Heathrow sending repeated Land Referencing letters, you are under NO obligation to complete them. We have taken advice from the Planning Inspectorate.

@joanniemac123 @TeddingtonTAG @NoR3Coalition Fantastic news Joan. So glad about this decision.

Cleaning up trash at a part of my park today where nearly every tree was killed by the 2012 - 2018 California drought.

These trees were then brought down by powerful windstorms, laying waste to the entire area.

This is climate change at my park.

@ANIMA_ProjectEU Yet we have made our attitudes to increased aviation noise very clear for YEARS and participated in unending aviation consultations but ignored. How will future studies addresss the current imbalance and destruction of our lives and health in the meantime @ICCAN_UK ?

[Neil Spurrier @NeilSpurrier]

The concept of Heathrow being "carbon neutral in the coming weeks" is absolutely ridiculous and so blatantly untrue. No wonder the aviation industry is so tarnished.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The fact that capitalism's growth imperative is driving species extinction at 100-1,000 times faster than the normal rate renders it obsolete as a legitimate economic system for the 21st century.

[Bridget Bell @bbcamberwell]

Well said. There wd not be this amount of angst and campaign activity had plane numbers, sizes & flight schedules remained at late-20C levels. @NATS shd not be supported by @UK_CAA+@transportgovuk to fly roughshod over arbitrary 'losers' to reduce complaints or industry profit.

[Neil Spurrier @NeilSpurrier]

Presumably 55% would. Stupified to just find out that when we buy "fresh fish from UK", the fish is caught off UK, then flown to China for processing (cheaper than in UK), then flown back to UK and then sold in supermarkets. This is part of @NATS desire to provide more aviation

[Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK]

Extinction Rebellion has officially announced its "Twelve Days of Crisis" campaign which plans to disrupt the general election with to put pressure on politicians of all parties to make "climate and ecological emergency the defining issue of this GE". 👇 https://t.co/D1V5uJmNOv

@martinmrocks @NATS @British_Airways @HeathrowAirport @manairport And that in itself is a problem. The artificially low tax on aircraft fuel distorts the price of travel.

[Diana M @mowl_d]

It’s raining - quite heavily. So now suddenly the planes over my head are at 5,000 rather than 2,500. Don’t tell me it’s not a choice to fly low.
