Comedian Alistair McGowan fights Heathrow expansion plans - Times Online

“We are not saying no one should fly, ever,” he says patiently, as if to a child. “Flying is an inevitable part of modern life. But the government has said it wants to reduce carbon emissions. And if the government is going to meet its targets, it cannot expand the aviation industry.”

As far as he is concerned, we should all sit down and watch An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore’s award-winning polemic about climate change. Under compulsion, if necessary. “I would make people watch it in a Big Brother way. Orwellian, not Davina McCall,” he says, helpfully ironing out any possible misunderstanding. “Gore’s film should be watched at the same time by everyone around the world. It’s the truth!”

This may account for the loftiness with which he dismisses the employment opportunities arising from the proposed Heathrow extension. “When people go on about the creation of jobs, the 25,000 which will be created [actually, the stated number of new jobs is 65,000], well, they might as well give those people a gun each and take them to the Arctic and let them shoot every polar bear in the head.”

Does he think polar bears are more important than people’s livelihoods? “Yes, I do.” He glares at me. “If we lose polar bears, it is because the icecaps are melting. If that happens, and sea levels rise, we will lose all the islands and beaches that people want to fly to for their holidays anyway. Gone. By 2030.

“Huge areas of our land which provide food for our country will disappear. The same will happen across the world. We will all end up on a tiny hill somewhere, living off what? Walkers crisps!”
