URGENT! Three weeks to stop Leeds Bradford Airport expansion. It doesn't take long to object (15 mins or so) but it is very important. The deadline is 25 Sept. There's a step by step guide to making an objection here: www.galba.uk/our-campaign... Please make your objection and share with others

You might have seen some news reports about LBA's latest night-flights-expansion planning application. We wanted to put the record straight on a few things, so please take a moment to look at our statement on our website www.galba.uk/news-updates...

If LBA gets its way, this is what will happen to Leeds ambition to cut greenhouse gas emissions. If anyone still claims that climate change doesn't cause extreme weather, go ask the 100s of 1000s of people evacuated from their homes in France, Spain and Scotland because of uncontrollable wildfires

LBA thinks it can ignore the Council's decision on night flights and fly as many as it wants. LBA is wrong and the Council must take enforcement action when LBA next breaks the night flight rules. Write to your local councillors to demand the same. More info here: www.galba.uk/our-campaign...

We had a good afternoon at the Beckett Park Picnic yesterday, talking to lots of people who are fed up with the airport’s total disregard for their lives. GALBA will not stop campaigning for local people, our environment and the climate

If you live in Leeds or Bradford, tell your councillors to stop unlimited, unauthorised night flights at LBA. It only takes a minute! Thank you - please share actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

What's it like living under the flight path? Three people - Stephen in Cookridge, Jodi in Kirkstall and Mike in Guiseley - have made short videos to explain. You can watch them on GALBA's YouTube channel. www.youtube.com/@GALBA2026/f...

LBA has made a new application to the Council to rewrite the night flight rules and make thousands more night flights. Bad news for local people, air quality and the climate. GALBA will fight this tooth and nail! Find out more and join us on our website: www.galba.uk/our-campaign...

If you're new to GALBA, or just want to find out what all the fuss is about, click on the link below to read about the LBA's plan for a massive increase in night time flying. More night flights would be bad news for local people, the air we breathe and our climate. www.galba.uk/our-campaign...

Join us in Leeds on Saturday 15 November. As world leaders meet in Brazil, we'll march to call for urgent action to tackle climate change and speed up a fair transition from dirty fossil fuels to the clean energy world of the future. Assemble from midday to 1pm in Merrion Street Gardens, LS2 8NG.

So-called 'sustainable' aviation fuel is not going to get flying to net zero. Right now, the only way to cut emissions from flying is to fly less.

Today’s Progress Report by the CCC warns that the continued increase in emissions from aviation has undermined some of the recent gains made in the electricity supply and industrial sectors, and “could put future targets at risk”. Basically, aviation emissions are not falling fast enough #FlyLess

Isn't this interesting? Maybe us aviation campaigners should have a whip-round and get Mr Kane a curry?

5/5 🧵 Governments should not be subsidising aviation biofuels - the polluter should pay, not the taxpayer. The industry argues it needs financial support but governments must not give into their pressure. The only reliable way to cut emissions from flying is to fly less.

1/5 🧵 #Greenwashing alert! The #aviation industry pushes #biofuels as a "climate solution". But biofuels are dangerously unsustainable - they are nothing more than a false solution Read this factsheet to find out more: stay-grounded.org/wp-content/u...

Doesn't it bug you that the entire aviation industry pays no fuel duty on its climate-wrecking kerosene fossil fuel? Imagine how much money the govt could raise if flying was taxed fairly! ££££££££ billions

Here are some more survey results, from More in Common, that show the broad support for getting to net zero and the small opposition to taking climate action

For some misguided reason, government ministers seem to think their support for airport expansions will make them more popular. They should take a look at the results of this very recent YouGov survey. Thank you @wearepossible.bsky.social

GALBA's letter in the YEP today explains why airport expansion cannot be described as 'sustainable' growth. You either accept scientific facts or you don't. If you don't, you're in a fantasy world @yepleedsnews.bsky.social @theaef.bsky.social @neweconomics.bsky.social @noairportexp.bsky.social

Airport expansion is not sustainable growth! Today, GALBA wrote to all West Yorkshire MPs to challenge Rachel Reeves' claim that alternative aviation fuel can offset the rise in emissions caused by letting airports expand. Read our letter here: www.galba.uk/news-updates...

@pmkierstarmer.bsky.social On 27 Feb 2020, you tweeted "Congratulations to the climate campaigners. There is no more important challenge than the climate emergency. That is why I voted against Heathrow expansion." The climate crisis has got worse, not better since then. Please stop airport expansion

GALBA is a small group of concerned citizens - trying to stop airport expansion for the sake of the climate and our community. We work hard to keep this issue in the spotlight. Today we are on the front page of the Yorkshire Evening Post highlighting a recent report by the Institute of Actuaries!
