If there was a political conservative who gave a damn about the environment, enough so to speak fervently for defending the planet, who also lived an entirely carbon neutral lifestyle, I could see an actual argument for 'the better of two norms'. But as is, no conservative politician would be caught dead admitting that we affect climate, so their opinions of an advocate and their questions about his personal life are really moot.

EDIT: It's a bit like discussions we've had on TFP about people who have never had or cared for children advising parents on how to be parents.
