BAA tries to stifle climate protest

[WD-40]

News from the RSPB site

Airport operator BAA is looking to limit the extent of a climate change protest near Heathrow by environmental organisations, including the RSPB.

Airport operator BAA will attempt next week to limit the extent of a protest near Heathrow about the adverse impacts of climate change and the government’s failure to take sufficient action to minimise them.

The company is applying to the High Court to take out an injunction to stop violence and flight disruption it fears will be caused by a grass-roots protest (The camp for climate action) planned for Heathrow from August 14 to 21.

BAA has named the environmental coalition AirportWatch in its injunction application, set to be heard next Wednesday. The RSPB is checking the implications of the proposed injunction. The Society is a member of AirportWatch but believes its members' travel plans would not be affected.
