Four? A measly four people care about “climate change”, formerly “Global Warming”, formerly “Global Cooling”, formerly “Pffffffft Like, uh pass the joint man!”

Four activists from environmental campaigners Greenpeace breached security at London Heathrow to stage a protest on top of a jet against the airport’s planned expansion, the group said Monday.The activists climbed on top of a British Airways Boeing 777 plane which had just landed from Manchester at around 0945 GMT and unfurled a huge banner across the tailfin reading: “Climate Emergency — No Third Runway”.

Their action came two days before the end of a government consultation on plans to expand Heathrow, notably by building a third runway, which have proved highly controversial with green campaigners and some local people.

Supporters of the scheme including airlines and business argue that it is vital to sustain London’s status as a world financial centre.

One of those involved in the protest, Anna Jones, 27, said: “I am standing on this plane because our planet and the people who live on it are in danger.

“Climate change can be beaten but not by doubling the size of the world’s biggest airport.”

The demonstrators were arrested by police after spending about an hour and a half on top of the jet. Services at Heathrow were largely unaffected.

Boy, the evironuts must really be struggling if all they can do is muster four lonely souls for their cause.

Read this for what it is. A last ditch effort for people who want to be able to tell you what you can and cannot do and where and when you can fly and travel. They don’t want the airport expanded which means what? Well, under their plans if you want to travel and there aren’t enough flights then tough. You have to sit home. Uh huh – yup – that you are SoL because THEY know what is best for you.

I’m sure that if the environuts get their way, they’ll have some sort of new bureaucracy created that will screen you to see if your travel plans are really necessary. Want to take a vacation with the kids? Nope. Sorry. Not allowed. Our Earth is too precious for you to go gallivanting around like that. Now get back to work!
