The Dublin Airport Authority are in the Oireachtas Transport Committee right now projecting an increase in passenger numbers to 40 million by 2030 and 50 million by 2040. But somehow they are also going to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

It's magical thinking that is completely removed from the reality of the Climate Emergency.

And to be fair, the members of the Committee are not giving them an easy time of it, although the focus is mainly on the immediate impact on people living near the airport rather than the climate impact of uncontrolled aviation growth.
