"Greta Thunberg Joins Protests Against Airport Expansion for Private Jets"

Greta Thunberg joined a protest march in southern England against the use of private jets and the expansion of Farnborough Airport, which primarily serves private aircraft. The airport's application to increase its maximum number of flights has sparked concerns about environmental impact, with groups like Extinction Rebellion highlighting the high pollution levels of private jets compared to commercial airliners. Thunberg emphasized the incompatibility of private jets with sustainable living conditions and called for accountability from the wealthy few responsible for aviation emissions. Farnborough Airport defended its role in business and corporate travel while acknowledging the need to reduce its environmental footprint. Thunberg, known for her global youth movement against climate change, is set to appear in a London court next week to face a public order offense charge related to a previous demonstration.
