The expansion of the Bristol Airport, owned entirely by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, raises serious concerns among environmentalists and community activists. The plan aims to increase passenger numbers and flights, contributing to a projected 60% rise in carbon emissions. This move contradicts local climate action efforts, especially after the 2019 state of emergency declaration. Critics argue that financial motivations are being prioritized over environmental impacts, highlighting the role of large pension funds in potentially exacerbating climate crises while opposing growth plans.
We are sick and tired of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan because they want really ludicrous growth... They have no understanding of the impact they're having on the local environment.
If you believe in climate change, how can you possibly reconcile that with an expansion that will put another million cubic tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere?
