Climate Confidential #4: Aviation Part 2
First Broadcast: 27 July 2005
Featuring:
- Peter Riding
- Karen Buck
The Tyndall Centre has said that unconstrained growth in aviation might make it impossible for us to meet our long term targets for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
We hear from Peter Riding of Stop Stansted Expansion about the struggle of the local community to prevent a new runway being built at Stansted Airport - and why he thinks they will win.
We ask Karen Buck at the Department for Transport why the UK's aviation policy is running in the opposite direction to our commitment to tackle climate change. Is the Department for Transport putting economic growth before environmental limits?
