But the new runway will suffice until 2030, well after those promoting
it for short term political gain have faded from the scene
of course by 2030 there will probably be insufficient air traffic to
warrant a second runway - the amount of oil remaining by then will push
the price of air travel upwards and reduce demand so the second runway
will become redundant
and global warming and the resultant rise in sea levels will mean that
Brisbane airport will be awash with the waters of Moreton Bay
and the white bellied sea eagles (if they are lucky enough to survive)
will have a whole new saltmarsh for a hunting ground
