The doctorate rebellion and curbing "airport expansion"

Leeds Universities where the latest round of anti airport doctorates come from have spent the last couple of decades expanding their campuses and encouraging large numbers of foreign students from around the world to flock to Leeds to study, use our transport networks, our airport, our city's facilities and services.

Leeds University "part of the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN), compromising of 23 research-intensive institutions spanning six continents"

In their elaborate quest to invite as many overseas students as possible to further fund the expansion of Leeds Universities and their quango studies into climate change, they will have indirectly and directly contributed substantially more to "global warming" . More than the average person on the street who would just like to go on a once a year family holiday to the Costas flying from their local airport.

So many of these university students invited here from six continents have travelled to Leeds by air contributing further to the 2% of global co2 emissions relating to aviation. Despite aviation related co2 being low in comparison with other sources, those students then go on to make considerably more co2 during their stay here in Leeds.

On their arrival, most will use public transport or taxis to get from Leeds Bradford airport or Manchester airport to their respective university campuses. In turn they are unwittingly making a further and larger contribution to the 17% of global transport related co2 according to the IPCC.

On arrival to the city centre of Leeds the students make their way to one of the recently constructed high rise apartments which contributed further to the 10% of global co2 related to buildings , notedly Iron and Steel contribute a further 5% towards global co2 emissions.

The students then reach their apartment generally using a lift, and as they enter their accommodation, they turn the heating and lighting on further contributing to the 43% global co2 relating to the production of electricity.

The next morning they head off to their respective universities where they study "climate change" and "co2 reduction".

Basically doctorates in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Blanket bans on aviation or any other industry will only hurt our economy further.

Lets be sensible and lets have a decent carbon neutral airport terminal. We'll work together with the aviation industry and other industries to reduce co2 emissions across the board. You can then carry on expanding your university.

Hi, I was born and lived in B36 for a long time - Lindale Avenue, just around the corner from Hodge Hill Comp.
I just noticed your postcode on a post.

Do you still live in the area?
survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 2nd time
If you’re tired of takeoffs, you’re tired of life.
49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.
