Elevated air visitors
is unhealthy information for local weather

Re: “Airport reaches key passenger milestone” (Web page B4, June 2).

Possibly hovering isn’t such a fantastic concept. Rising numbers of individuals are selecting to fly much less as a result of it’s probably the most efficient issues a person can do to cut back their carbon emissions.

The place else can you are taking one motion and make such an enormous distinction for the local weather?

Though I want financial prosperity for the Bay Space, I consider we will obtain this by selling rail and bus journey.

The in a single day Flix bus from the Bay Space to San Diego lets me sleep (uncomfortably) and I can get there with out dropping a day. The discomfort of an evening of poor sleep is small in comparison with the discomfort of an overheated planet.
