An event only accounting for 1/10,000th of global emissions doesn't mean it is asinine to worry or complain about it. That very much depends on how easy it is to cut it relative to other sources. If it's easy, it's absolutely worth complaining about: if you can find a thousand such events to eliminate, that's 10% of global emissions (I know, there aren't a thousand olympics :P) I'm not saying this particular argument has any merit, mind you. Just that it's legitimate to care about smaller sources of pollution if the effort required to eliminate them is proportionately smaller.
