The US is 40% responsible for historic global CO2 emissions. All Global South countries in total are responsible for 8%, but many of them are already suffering the consequences in the form of climate refugees on the road because their home is no long habitable. Expanding private jets just adds insult to climate injustice injury.

This must be stopped. The easy life of jet setters, emitting enormous amounts of GHGs, should not be allowed to create death and destruction.

Lived my early life in Hingham Mass. Identify strongly as being from Mass. Confident that Mass. leaders will recognize the symbolic and practical necessity of blocking this self destructive expansion of pure greed.

Making life easier for those wealthy enough to own a private jet should not be the responsibility of the taxpayers of a state. Also, making it easier for planes that pollute at 45 times the rate/passenger that a commercial jet flies is very detrimental to our entire planet.

I am so proud to live in Massachusetts, where we work hard to limit our climate impact. We can't let this expansion happen!

This is a bad idea. Already too many private jets in Massachusetts and the ghg emissions from these things are just horrendous.

Please stop this project, which would accelerate global warming and exacerbate global climate change.

I hear planes all day and night. The planes interrupt my phone service and even disconnect my service. The touch and goes are worse on the weekends. When I’m on my deck we have to stop the conversation and wait for the plane to pass if it’s a larger one. I can’t imagine more air traffic.

Please stop the enlargement of Hanscom Field and any other private jetports. They promote more greenhouse gas emissions; we must stop such emissions now.

Not in line at all with Mass Climate goals.

I believe the impact of the proposed increase in jet capacity at Hanscom will have an adverse impact on the environmental quality of life within the surrounding areas.

I USED to live right next to Hanscom. But that isn't the reason why I object: private jets encouraged??? Really??? With the crisis as it is??

Massachusetts can do so much better. Let's stop this project in its tracks!

We don't need this in our Commonwealth
