This is the governments aviation progress report which explains its plans for development of airports across the country and how concerned they are to mitigate the global warming impact of this

Aviation Progress report

This report is the Environmental Audit Committee Report (Reducing Carbon Emisssions from Transport). See notes 49 and 60 in the introduction on the governments subsidised quintrupling of aviation emissions. This report is highly critical of the governments proposals for expanding airports. Doesn't look like the government has bothered to read it!!

See the National Statistics figures for CO2 emissions. Note the overall decline in CO2 from manufacturing as a result of the combined change to gas power in the UK and exporting of heavy manufacturing from the UK to China and oher developing countries. Also, remember that internation air travel is excluded from the figures!!!
