Last night I heard the sound of a government minister with his head up his arse! [Any Questions, BBC Radio 4]

Responding to a question on global warming and climate change he said we have to do everything possible to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, must reduce our energy consumption, carbon emissions. A third runway at Heathrow Airport, bearing in mind aviation is the fastest growing source of greenhouse emissions? Ah, we must have balance, we must consider the economy!

It is not only Heathrow. Farnborough Airport, average passenger occupancy 2.5 passengers per flight, has applied to double its existing flights!
