Get ready for a load of spin about how the government's "Jet Zero" strategy allows them to do this and remain compatible with their climate goals. Jet Zero is a Trojan horse to expand aviation while promising change and it'll be too late to stop it when very little happens.

I am breaking the court embargo on Heathrow to protest against the injustice of the verdict, which is a betrayal of the younger generation and those on the frontline of the crisis in the UK and around the world:https://t.co/R0nx4RazXF
Here is a press release from the local business lobbying organisation of which the airport is a member: https://t.co/UGUssnUyj7
Here is the same thing reheated in the local press with a reporter's name on it: https://t.co/C0dsPqufwk
Supreme Court lifts ban on Heathrow third runway https://t.co/NdCdPnn8Cf

Supreme Court had handed down its judgement on the Airports NPS. They say the Sec of State (Grayling) did not act unlawfully in approving a Heathrow 3rd runway, as he took enough account of climate targets and the Paris Agreement. That is just the narrow legal point of the case

Airbus proposed hydrogen planes 20 years ago https://t.co/4StnkfkshW but ditched the idea for all the well known issues with hydrogen 10 years later https://t.co/oc0FNkGwNs
But their head of future airplanes says they are impractical for anything but large, long haul routes. https://t.co/6eNCi3eYtj
Besides, to switch Heathrow to hydrogen would need roughly 50 GW of dedicated power stations - the equivalent of today's peak grid demand or 32 Hinkley C reactors.

Covid recovery money is going to the oligarchy.
Ottawa and the provinces have put very little on the table to help clean-tech companies directly during Covid 19 while targeting fossil-fuel producers with more than $16 billion in aid.
Coast to coast people have demanded treaties be honored. We demanded climate action, divestment and land back but Canada is not listening. This video shows 10 years of rallies in Waterloo Ontario. City & regional council declared a climate emergency. 🚨
The Bank of China (BOC), SNC-Lavalin and WE Charity were recipients of taxpayer-funded the Covid 19 Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS)
