Heathrow Airport Expansion Gathers Environmental Protestors
The BBC announced this morning that a large protest by environmentalists would take place this weekend over Heathrow Airport’s plans to expand. Are you kidding me? They are that aware of the environmental problems jet fuel poses that they are organizing protests? Finally, someone has the foresight to see an environmental problem ahead of time and the stamina to start doing something about it right away. The protesters said “Holding the camp at Heathrow aims to highlight the lunacy of the government’s airport expansion plans,” says a statement from campaigners,” according to the BBC. What’s wrong with the lunacy in America?
While they are setting up camps to thwart efforts to expand Heathrow because that will mean more jet fuel released into the atmosphere exacerbating the CO2 problem, which aggravates global warming, Michigan is seeing to a massive expansion right here at Metro airport. Instead of protestors, we have people rubbing their palms together. Just like the so so response I got on the Monroe talks blog about BP’s dumping more sludge and ammonia into Lake Michigan. Someone responded that it’s all right, the EPA signed off on it. EPA in this administration? Right. The idea that it creates more jobs (80), and oil for us overrode any environmental problems it produced.
And finally what do you think the protestors would think about our Dream Cruise where hundreds of cars from across the country will show up here to dump a big load of CO2 in the air over Michigan in just one weekend? Oh, but it brings income into the state and is so much fun. Money is the name of the game. I hope people learn to eat and drink money when there is no fresh water, or decent food to eat. Without irrigation in the ever-increasing intense heat, we will not be able to grow anything, including corn for ethanol. 39 people have died in the south so far because of scorching heat.
As always, Americans have their heads buried in the sand about our environmental gaffs in lieu of money, always money. I blame this administration for the spin they’ve put on an ever increasing and obvious weather problem. This administration has done more evil by altering reports about everything including the war than anything else. What they’ve done is create doubt. And as the earth’s weather gets more and more erratic, the doubters cling to the validity altered government reports. I think feeding the public lies about climate change is a crime against humanity. A 4.6 earthquake in Hawaii, and 7.9 earthquake in Peru, with over 590 dead so far and thousands injured, and now this morning a 6.2 earthquake in Indonesia again. The satellite view of hurricanes show spinning masses everywhere in the oceans. There is a searing heat wave hovering across many states, and massive fires across our country. But all is well. Our government said so.
Many people do not see the correlation between earth quakes and global warming but doesn’t it stand to reason if excess pressure builds up on the earth’s surface due to an unusually heavy atmosphere from CO2, there will be consequences beneath that surface? Peru’s earthquake was 25 miles deep! Some thing is going on. The protestors in England have my admiration; unlike the response I get here about environmental problems in a country that is supposed to have the best of everything but the truth.
Michigan has a law in effect against outdoor burning right now as we proceed ahead with an airport expansion and the Dream Cruise. More CO2, more global warming and more fires. 18,000 acres burned in the UP and the fire is only 62% under control. Is this irony at it’s finest? We’re just not getting it.
