every scientist like david attenborough, government officials, everybody else is saying climate change emissions. they're all saying emissions have to go down and the judge today has ruled the expansion of heathrow illegal and said the government has got to take into account time and change. now all be we are saying, we have the big climate summit happening in glasgow this year. it's time the government stepped up and said they were taking climate change seriously, we're gonna stop airport expansion and take other measures to deal with the demand. half the people in the country don't fly. it's a small number of people who actually fly a lot. you could deal with that demand with... before i put your point to richard, what you deal with his point about the economic urgency of travelling? look, if you look at the statistics from the government, air passenger traffic coming into this country and out is actually falling. a lot of people say we need this for business, but actually business takes into account very small numbers of passengers. this is mainly tourists and a lot of heathrow is a
