"Third Heathrow runway should only go ahead if airlines pay for cleaner flying, say advisers"
The government now has 4 options:
1. Cancel Heathrow expansion plans
2. Build the 3rd runway and introduce tough new legislation to force airlines to be carbon neutral
3. Ignore the climate change commitments and build the runway anyway
4. Build the runway and pretend to introduce legislation as per option 2, but make sure it's completely toothless so that it has no effect
Of course what they should do is option 1.
I'm guessing they'll go for option 3 or 4, probably 4.
I'm not sure if option 2 is even possible.
