An Inconvenient Question: Should Al Gore Fly to Oslo For His Nobel Prize?

Should he skip the trip to Oslo, Norway, on a fuel-burning jet and instead accept the award by teleconference?

I realize two plane flights would make little difference to Mr. Gore's carbon footprint (certainly by comparison with the much-publicized utility bills for his home). But as he pointed out in "An Inconvenient Truth":

Flying is another form of transportation that produces large amounts of carbon dioxide. Reducing air travel even by one or two flights per year can significantly reduce emissions. . . . If your airplane travel is for business, consider whether you can telecommute instead.
