According to the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute, CO2 emissions from aviation have doubled since 1990 and are set to double again by 2030. This will mean around 40,000 million tonnes of CO2 from aviation - exceeding your target for total CO2 emissions from all sectors. How do your commitments on climate change square with your support for substantial new runway capacity in the South East over the last 4 years? Will you rule out any further runway capacity in the South East?
