Possible Maliscious Content Question as to whether the last paragarph under History regarding Global Warming was intentionally added and whether this respesents the facts.

The entry read as follows:

The Manx Airline has also become embroiled with the controversial expansion plans at Gloucestershire (Staverton) Airport by publically endorsing the expansion proposals, despite this leading to increased greenhouse gas emisssions at a time when the IPCC report [1] has highlighted the extremely high risk of runaway global warming. In response to pressure from environmentalists, Gloucestershire airport produced a document[2] which denied and ridiculed the whole science of global warming in their attempts to gain support. Their scurrilous behaviour has been likened to the moral equivalence of holocaust denial. It has led to planned protests against the airport, see http://www.myspace.com/campofhope and http://campforhopeatstaverton.blogspot.com/


Suggest that this has nothing to do with Manx2 but with aviation in general and suggest its removal from the Manx2 data. What Staverton does with its airport is a matter for the Gloucestershire County Council. Manx2, being one of many airplanes and airlines that fly to this airport, is not to be regarded as individually "embroilled" by virtue of the fact that it makes use of the facility. The above arguments are more appropriate for large jets from London airports and not "dinky toy" jets from the Isle of Man. Suggest the global warming mode be directed to China, India and the USA first as they belch out of their factories more emissions per minute than all British airliners in a year.
