in this new era of #globalTradeWar and tariffs, maybe we don't need extra #airport capacity at all, as there will be no extra #business trips to accommodate? Also, transatlantic tourism is going down, as people don't want to spend their holidays in detention centres.

would be great if #starmer could join the dots ...

This grifting fuckwit claims the backup generators didn't work because they'd been removed for Net Zero when they hadn't been and did, and doesn't realise that the chances of the backup generators powering an airport the size of a small city is about the same as his having weekly MP's surgeries in Clacton.

The Poke · Nigel Farage sniffed out a ‘Net Zero’ conspiracy over the Heathrow airport shutdown and had his wings clipped – 9 soaraway comebacksIt’s been a few days now since Heathrow was closed for business after an electricity substation fire caused travel chaos around the world.

The #Energy Secretary has commissioned the National Energy System Operator (NESO) to investigate the power outage that disrupted #Heathrow #Airport and the surrounding area. This follows restoration of power to all affected customers. The investigation aims to understand the incident’s causes and improve the UK’s energy resilience. The government is committed to preventing future disruptions through its Plan for Change, which includes boosting energy security. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband emphasised the importance of learning from the incident to protect critical national infrastructure. NESO will collaborate with stakeholders, including Heathrow, to ensure a thorough review. Initial findings are expected within six weeks.

The closure of #Heathrow yesterday had 200,000 people not flying. If each flight had a climate impact of 1 tCO2 equivalent, then this would be 200,000 tCO2eq of emissions that didn't happen.

A study showed that for every ~4400 tCO2eq one human will die from climate change impact until the year 2100.

200,000/4400=45

Every day of Heathrow operation will kill 45 people in the future. Yesterday saved 45 people's lives.

“‘I want to look my nieces in the eye and say I did everything I could’: eight Just Stop Oil supporters found GUILTY”

“During the trial the judge removed all legal defences from the jury’s consideration, ruled the climate emergency to be ‘irrelevant’ and forbade defendants from mentioning that a jury has a right to acquit a defendant as a matter of conscience”
