Fred does have a level head about the world in general. What I find amusing is that these idiots can’t cure a common cold, clear up acne or cure or prevent baldness yet seem to think we can impact natural changes in the earth’s environment.

Looks like Fred is the only one of the bunch who has done his homework.
Much as I dislike Rudy, at least he isn't talking about destroying our economy like the 'rats.
Looks like MItt's hedging his bets. Throwing out the "as long as it's part of a comprehensive plan." Isn't that what all the open borders pols said about the various amnesty plans?

But beyond the Big Six, there's a surprise seventh: Bill Richardson. The New Mexico Guv sets higher targets than the rest: a 90% cut in carbon by 2050; 50 m.p.g. by 2020. He would also slash oil imports 85% by 2025.
Oh yeah, well, I promise to cut carbon output by 99 44/100% by 2049 . . . and I will slash oil imports by 98% by 2023, and I will mandate that cars run on quinoa and cacti by 2031, and water usage will be brought down 40% by 2030, and we will have world peace and solve all hunger in the western hemisphere by 2038. This is gonna take two terms now ...

The New Mexico Guv sets higher targets than the rest... The higher he aims, the more spectacularly he fails.

So we’ll raise standards to some arbitrary number likely beyond what the technology of the time will safely support, and manufacturers will shave too much weight off their cars in order to meet standards and still meet consumer demand. Thus, more people will yet again die because of government interference. Remember mandated airbags killing kids? Yeah, after they’re dead we now have a passenger airbag deactivating sensor.
The Law of Unintended Consequences is absolute.

Carbon offset Credits are the key to making good on one's Greeness. In the Religion of Climate Change, Church of Global Warming, carbon offset credits are the
new Indulgences.

Claiming to be green by adhering to the leftist enviro-racket agenda as opposed to actually doing something to care for natural resources are two very different things.
