"Mr President, I think all of us in this House agree on the need to reduce harmful gases, whether you believe in the concept of global warming and the threat to the Earth or whether you just want to reduce pollution.
However, let us remember that 12 times a year, we move this House from Brussels to Strasbourg, not to mention the extra buildings we have in Luxembourg. Not only does that cost the taxpayers of Europe EUR 200 million a year, but it also emits 192 000 tonnes of CO
equivalent to 49 000 hot-air balloons. It really is time for the European Parliament to stop emitting all its hot air in these debates and to take the lead by ending the farce of Brussels, Strasbourg and Luxembourg. It is time to end the hypocrisy."@en1
