Filing fails to consider ozone layer, global warming in cost-benefit for O'Hare

Pat Neuman | 07.03.2005 01:45 | G8 2005 | Analysis

A filing last week with the Federal Aviation Administration on a plan to expand Chicago's O'Hare airport shows a cost-benefit ratio as justified, even under adverse scenarios [Paul Merrion, Crain's Chicago Business, 15 Feb. 2005].

However, the filing failed to account for more damage to the ozone layer and more global warming from increases in airline transportation and costly emissions.
