Monbiot urges Burnham to block Heathrow expansion
Original: The expansion of Heathrow would be an expensive disaster for Britain and the world. Burnham needs to block it | George M
George Monbiot argues in the Guardian that expanding Heathrow with a third runway would be an expensive disaster for Britain and the planet, ignoring climate warnings and economic reality. He calls on Andy Burnham to block the project, framing the decision as a test of whether the government will take its climate commitments seriously amid renewed push for airport growth.
Why now: A prominent columnist has reignited debate over the Heathrow third runway by publicly pressuring a leading Labour figure to oppose it.
