AI-Generated Summary
Environmentalists and locals face a setback as the UK government greenlights the expansion of Heathrow Airport, raising concerns about increased flights and emissions.
Environmentalists and local residents have opposed the addition of a third runway at London's Heathrow, which is the busiest airport in Europe, for over twenty years. Today, their efforts suffered a significant setback.
The UK government has officially announced it will approve the expansion of the airport. While Chancellor Rachel Reeves hopes this move will spur growth in the national economy, it is not a guarantee. However, it is certain that more flights and increased emissions will follow, despite experts urgently calling for governments to take measures to control them.
