Could only vote for Paul
Considering the advocating position is becoming less and less certain with more research being done, I couldn't possibly support any candidate that would sign into law emissions caps and trade deals that would put the US at an unfair disadvantage. Kyoto was pure politics, in that countries that were "developing" were exempted from any caps, and the ideals pitched in Bali will be equally ridiculous. If all nations aren't held to those standards then it's impossible to claim to be trying to avert any "catastrophe."
With each passing week, more and more research appears in the scientific journals that casts more doubt on the position that "the debate is over," and a "scientific consensus" has been reached, and that everything says we need to act now to avert "catastrophe." Catastrophe is the least likely of any scenario, and even serious harm being done is considered unlikely. Sea levels aren't rising any faster, polar bears aren't going extinct, tropical cyclones aren't becoming more frequent or intensifying outside historical norms (in fact, science is becoming sure that these are cyclical and intensity isn't dependent on sea surface temperatures alone), and the thermohaline and gulf streams aren't being interrupted. No catastrophe is in the offing due to human emission of greenhouse gasses.
To vote for someone foolish enough to believe such nonsense is irrational at best---and asking for trouble.
