Local climate campaigner Peter Simpson, a resident of Colchester and Chair of the Liberal Democrat Society at the University of Essex, expressed his desire for the people of Essex and around the country to take note of the actions at Heathrow and to work together to show the authorities that we can be heard and that we can win the battle to save the planet from runaway climate change.
“The time to act is now”, he said, “peer reviewed science has shown that a two-degree increase will be a disaster for billions of people, and we will all have to pay a worst price if changes we make to our living come too late.”
Campaigners have stressed that their action is however not against individual holiday makers, but at frequent flyers and the big businesses that control our way of life and our appetite for the skies.
