Breaking news on News 24.

Heathrow's third runway expansion is under threat now that a High Court decision that the decision to allow the new runway is at odds with the UK's overall climate change targets.

This will be interesting.

I have no particular opinion for or against runway three.

For me, the interesting part of the story is that it seems to be the very first time that the Government's headlong dash to reduce CO2 has been used against it to defeat its own policy.

I find the irony quite amusing.

I wonder whether this will be an isolated case? Or are we to witness many more of these 'carbon' setbacks in the months and years to come?
