Indeed :

Other flights will take the place of Orly Bordeaux, Lyon, Nantes
These flights will be necessarily longer
The CO2 emissions of airplanes taking off from Orly will be higher.
But the environmentalists are too dense and far from knowing anything about the facts used in this reasoning.
If those suggested additional routes from Orly had made commercial sense, airlines would be flying them already as Orly has had plenty of headroom below the 250K cap over the last few years.
