So proud to announce this

#EyesOnBristolAirport project has won funding from Bristol+Bath Creative R+D & West of England Combined Authority

*An experimental project capturing flight and air traffic data to hold Bristol Airport accountable to its climate pledges*

And🤞 roll it out to other airport groups

Carbon capture and storage has been promised for 20 years. It has never materialised and never will. Its sole purpose is to create the impression that oil and gas drilling is compatible with a habitable planet. Any politician promoting it is working for the fossil fuel industry.

Hope y'all didn't want much sleep last night...
Bristol Airport was BUSY
Here's a little film via #WebTrak which shows arrivals from 11.30pm to 12.30am

Contrarians are deliberately conflating ULEZ with Climate Change in order to make them both seem unpopular and to undermine #netzero . As we approach an election. The tactic is cynical, but only to be expected given the history of these people.

Advertising works, that's the problem. badvertising suggest that banning ads for flights would reduce demand.

It is terrifying to read the news but there is so much we CAN still do to prevent even more climate chaos. One of the most effective ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is to reduce flying. And that means no more airport expansion. #FlyLess bbc.co.uk/news/live/worl…

Research indicates that additional flights being taken due to their promotion by advertising could result in up to 34 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in a year. The UK's comically named ‘Jet Zero’ strategy will actually lead to a 70 percent increase in flight demand by 2070.

Think we should fly more from Bristol Airport rather than driving to Heathrow?

Maybe worth checking out flight routes first...
#Scicily to #Bristol flies right past Heathrow Airport

Car or train produces far less pollution than flying
