Problem: "Planes are consistently later than our stated arrival times"
Solution: "Why don't we give more accurate arrival times, so passengers can be more confident in those stated arrival times and minimize disruption to their travel plans"
The Guardian: "This is bad for the environment"
Literally the article is saying that when airlines stopped optimistically lying about arrival time, this somehow poisoned the planet. Despite the fact that both before and after the change being complained about, flights took off at the same real timestamp, spent the same amount of real time in the air, and landed at the same real timestamp.
