The expansion of air transport can no longer be considered sustainable in any sense since the international scientific community is agreed that human activity is leading to climate change and that aircraft emissions create a large proportion of the 'greenhouse gases' which are responsible for climate change.
With the present state of scientific knowledge, people making decisions which lead to airport expansion are guilty of a crime against humanity.
