Climate change activists plan Heathrow camp

Climate change activists said yesterday that they expected more than 2,000 people from all over Britain to join west London residents in a mass direct action against plans to expand Heathrow airport.

The activists announced that they would set up a “high impact” climate camp near the airport between August 14-21.

“We are simply not going to sit by and let emissions from binge-flying make dangerous climate change become inevitable,” said Leo Murray, a spokesman for the activist group Plane Stupid, one of the groups which is helping to organise the camp.
