Hello Douglas,
In my opinion, I don't believe that a presidential candidate will be able to use 2012 to their advantage. Here's my reasoning:
1). By using 2012 as an election campaign, the presidential candidate would feed the fears and panic already ensuing due to 2012.
2). I only see two functional ways for a presidential candidate to use 2012 as an campaign platform.
A). Concrete evidence would have to come to light.
B). Or, the presidential candidate uses the backdoor by improving guidelines surrounding building codes and zoning to reduce hazards by primarily earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Were you drawing a parallel to campaign platforms aiming to fight global warming? Or in my opinion, the seeming argument of a man-made El Nino which would inevitably mean when emissions are lowered by both rain and reduction of emission's origin that we'll also have a man-made La Nina.
