More flights I READ with interest the arguments for and against even more public money being pumped in to keeping Teesside airport open. “Authority to spend extra £10m on Teesside Airport” (D&S Times, July 2). There is however an elephant in the room, not being mentioned by either Mr Houchen or his Labour counterpart. My question to both parties is this: Given that all political sides agree climate change is the greatest imminent threat to mankind, how does airport expansion with more, not fewer flights, reduce CO2 emissions, as is the government s stated aim?
