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 a third runway at Heathrow would be an expensive disaster for Britain and the planet, and calls on Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham to oppose it. The piece cites climate warnings against the project and questions its economic case, adding to ongoing debate over the government's airport expansion plans.
Why now: Heathrow's proposed third runway remains politically contested, with climate and economic arguments resurfacing in opinion commentary.
