It's not that cut and dry. Man does have a very slight impact on "climate". But it's so slight as to be hardly measurable.
e.g. Urban heat island effects etc.

I'd like to thank Eugene Robinson for highlighting Alaska's achievements on climate change ["Palin's own 'Climate- gate,' " op-ed, Dec. 15] and for noting that I've "treated the issue as serious, complex, and worthy of urgent attention," while making "any number of pragmatic, reasonable, smart decisions as governor." But he's wrong to suggest that my views have somehow changed or that now I'll have to "renounce" my past efforts.

Peace of mind.
I can answer that. 0.28%.
And of that, the part that human-generated CO2 plays is 0.117%
Your wish is my command - from 8/29/08:
“A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made,” Palin said.

Thank you very much!!!
The question isn't "how much time did you have (in office)," It's "what did you do with the time you were given?" And on that score, Obama STILL has not accomplished as much as Governor Palin (unless accumulating debt to China is considered an accomplishment).
Your chart gives the impression of a higher effect of human CO2 contribution. Yes, human CO2 is about 3% of the total CO2,
but the contribution to the total greenhouse effect is 0.117% (see link in #62 above).
This number is actually what our contribution to “global warming” is, since the entire premise is basd on the greenhouse effect.
Unless you have a statement of her's to back that up, I still say you are wrong.
Absolutely, as we age, we generally accumulate knowledge and experience which leads us away from phonies and frauds. These 'carnies' are tempting our youth to toss a ping-pong ball into the myriad of fish bowls, knock down the fake milk jugs (one made of lead) with a softball, and fork-over their allowance and our pensions to save the planet.
A few things have to happen: First, we have to let them try. Second, we have to help them understand why they failed (it was rigged). And third, they have to gain a new respect for those whose wisdom they've yet to attain, and experience they'll only acquire after many years of being around the block.
And when the situation becomes untenable, raise the voting age to 30.
Yeah, he'd be banned in Britain if he were alive today- quite a measure of the distance we've come from our once collective sanity. This is what happens when some are allowed to move the goal posts ever farther left.
What sucks is there are enough of them (commies and collectivists) to impose their idiocy via the heavyhand of government on us all. They'd rather all those besides themselves take-up serfing.
If you read her book or can find an unedited quote, you’ll know that Gov. Palin says that there’s no proof that man causes climate change. Climate change is what gives us the four seasons each year and is just the natural evolution of the earth.
I'm not so worried about her message to people who might read her book. It's her pandering to the people who won't read it. Such pandering seems to be the beginning of the downfall of most Republicans.

She’s not pandering and I’m sure the news media didn’t supply the whole quote, which they are famous for doing, causing stupid conservatives to believe what they read in the papers.
