Human beings go on vacation. Those vacations are most often than not very carbon intensive.

How many people travel to New York or to Paris or to London every year? Do our eyes roll back in our heads and mouths froth at articles about all the carbon spent on international travel or road trips in general? No. They don't.

I understand the irony here as someone with the handle I still possess as my twitter username and a longtime advocate of cycling and public transit infrastructure, but Burning Man is just an easy target for haters.
