UK climate advisers say Heathrow Airport expansion incompatible with climate goals

UK climate advisors state Heathrow Airport expansion conflicts with national climate targets. The aviation sector must achieve net zero emissions by 2050 for expansion to align. Heathrow's multi-billion-pound expansion plan includes a third runway, approved by the government. This summer's extreme weather highlights the urgent impacts of climate change. The government must ensure aviation bears decarbonisation costs and responsibility for its emissions.
