  1. A pretty blistering report on UK airport expansion - from the House of Commons Audit Committee.
    -No evidence of net benefits.
    -Will impair net zero.
    -Decisions being taken without the benefit of updated policy.

  2. Sometimes it's challenging to avoid painting the word "stupid" with a broad brush.

    "Attitudes towards the environment are similar to those seen last year, with widespread concern about the environment, but relatively few consumers are willing to fly less or pay more to offset the environmental impact of flying. As seen last year, consumers tend to see paying for environmental measures as the airline’s responsibility rather than their own."

  3. My god, she was vacuous this morning on BBC radio prime interview slot.
    Full of misinformation and slogans.
    The funniest untruth?
    "In Britain we haven't built a new runway since the 1940s"
    I must have dreamt about Swampy and the camp against Manchester airport's second runway, opened in 2001.

  4. Aviation emissions are topical today.#ManchesterAirport want to double flights.
    We calculated that would add nearly 23 Mtonnes of CO2e (Greater Manchester's already blown, Paris consistent, fair share carbon budget is 67 Mtonnes).

  5. Extreme heat forces US airlines to limit passengers and fuel loads in the #Heatwave

    #AviationEmissions adding to #climateChange which then impacts aviation

    “As temperatures increase, there are going to be more occasions, at more places, where certain flights are going to have to take payload limitations or stop en route because they had to short-load the fuel.”

  6. At least 150 people packed a Town Hall in Melbourne’s north western suburb of Keillor opposed to #MelbourneAirport 3rd Runway plan presently before Federal Infrastructure Minister King. Effect on childrens learning, Increase in #Noisepollution, #airpollution, and #aviationemissions adding to #climatecrisis highlighted.
    Melbourne Airport has refused to release a health impact study for the 3rd runway proposal.

  7. @Snoro
    as far as I am aware here in Australia domestic airline emissions will fall under the #SafeguardMechanism proposed scheme and will be able to offset 100% of emissions with Australian carbon offset credits. The integrity of those carbon credits already under question.

    ✈️ Highlights the central role of climate governance in creating markets.
    ✈️ Concludes that new business model for aviation needed.

    "Key transition technologies are in early stages of technology readiness, their scalability is uncertain, and airlines are not profitable. The replacement of fossil fuels will demand drop-in quota legislation at a global scale."

    "If the current business model – volume growth with very small profit margins – is continued, it is likely that aviation's contribution to climate change will grow, due to constraints in biofuel production, cost, and an increase in non-CO2 warming. To stay within 1.5 °C warming, the sector has to reassess capacity and its relationship with profitability; and to possibly embrace an altogether different business model."

  13. On Transport Australia needs to act with urgency on all fronts – cars, freight and aviation – to get transport emissions on track for net zero. They are presently increasing.

    Needs fuel efficiency standards, EVs, more public transport and active transport, more freight to rail (and sea), upgrade of Melbourne - Sydney rail corridor in fast rail in medium term and high speed east coast rail network in the long term.

    And why is Melbourne Airport proposing a 3rd runway to induce growth in avation and #aviationemissions?

  14. @blairpalese
    Prime Minister Albanese needs to get to work on promises of Sydney to Hunter Region fast rail project as a priority project for a newly established High Speed Rail Authority for Australia. Domestic #aviationemissions in #Auspol are 8% of Australian #TransportEmissions and are projected to grow over the coming decade. #HighSpeedRail

  15. Domestic aviation emissions make up about 8% of Australia's #transportemissions. They reduced during the pandemic, but with expectations to grow again.

    "Emissions from domestic aviation were 8 Mt CO2-e in 2019, or 8% of total transport emissions. In 2022, emissions in this sector were 6 Mt CO2-e. As activity returns to pre-pandemic levels, emissions are projected to reach almost 9 Mt CO2-e in 2023, and then grow steadily with activity to 10 Mt CO2-e in 2035." says Australia’s emissions projections 2022 report.

    Domestic #AviationEmissions are growing when we need to be reigning them in. It is the wrong time to be expanding airports (3rd runway at #MelbourneAirport) which will induce more emissions.

  16. High demand for Melbourne-Sydney-Brisbane rail and coach services as airfares remain high due to high fuel costs and shortage of airline staff. Australian governments have continued to delay high speed rail even though SYD-MEL 2nd busiest domestic flight route globally, and SYD-BNE also high use. Flying is high carbon intensive travel producing #Aviationemissions, very difficult to decarbonise.

  17. Little is being done to address aviation emissions, and this past week the aviation industry has been holding their 'slot' conference here in Melbourne. Never mind #MelbourneAirport has a development project for a 3rd runway which will induce further climate emissions, air pollution, traffic congestion

    Brace for impact. International aviation Net Zero 2050 flightpath crashes in Melbourne.

  18. @pollyjhemming
    One of the problems with #aviationemissions is the industry is focussed on CO2 emissions reduction when soot and nitrous oxides and high altitude flying climate impact is actually of greater climate impact than CO2. But people are sucked in by the promise of sustainable aviation fuels #greenwashing, like this corporate offset scheme smh.com.au/business/companies/

  19. @pollyjhemming I had a go at aviation and carbon offsets and CORSIA in January 2017 in a slideshare presentation. What a minefield.

    Came to the conclusions:
    * We need to fly less
    * Price flight tickets to include climate impact costs
    * Implement demand management restriction of flying
    * For aviation carbon offsetting, Choose quality carbon credits when you do fly (But how to choose when there is a lack of regulation and verification?)

    I'd probably add a frequent flyer levy now or use a personal carbon budget system. and perhaps a Hefty runway tax on private jets
