BAA announces plans to expand airport as UN readies climate report
Stansted airport operators BAA today unveiled plans for a second runway, prompting condemnation from environmental campaigners concerned at the role aviation is playing in fuelling climate change.

A year late - the government announced the results of their review of climate change initiatives today and told us what we already knew. They are not going to meet their targets. But instead of taking this opportunity to put in place measures that would really make a difference to reduce climate damaging emissions, they've lowered their expectations.
