There's no place for new airports in a climate crisis. We need to draw a red line: stop airport expansion, reduce air traffic now!

The beautiful white village of Grazalema (Andalusia, Spain) had already been evacuated because of terrible amounts of rain. January had 1295 mm, an all-time high monthly total. But after today's 140 mm (and counting), February now already stands at 1169 mm, that's 510 mm (78%) more than ever before!
