Hundreds of climate change protesters marched near London's Heathrow airport yesterday and pledged civil disobedience to draw attention to the impact of aviation on global warming.
Protest organizers said they would form a human chain at the site of a proposed third runway at the world's busiest international airport and to picket the headquarters of Heathrow's operator BAA through the night.
The protesters want Heathrow's expansion plans dropped and the growth of air travel halted. Their action comes at the height of the holiday season at an airport that handles nearly 70 million passengers a year.
