CEI's Intellectual Consistency

CEI has been harping about Gore's carbon emissions coming from all of his travel to give his spiel. Gore's camp also says that all promotional activities for his film are carbon neutral (actually Gore says he's carbon neutral overall), but otherwise hugg.com gets it right:
CEI has created quite the moral dilemma for themselves. They are condemning Al Gore for generating dramatically more Carbon Dioxide emissions than an average person while traveling around the world giving speeches on global warming. You can't condemn Al Gore for traveling and contributing to Global Warming when you are denying Global Warming exists. Either "CO2 is life" or Global Warming exists and the balancing act between to little and too much begins.
