But Charles Gibson and Tapper (the guy that wrote the web page I posted, both of ABC, ignored what she actually said.

Well, you know, ABC is the network that aired the lie-filled "The Path to 9/11."

What she said when?
"She has told the Internet news site Newsmax, "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."In an interview with a Fairbanks newspaper within the last year, Palin said: "I'm not an Al Gore, doom-and-gloom environmentalist blaming the changes in our climate on human activity." ABC cited the interview as being at odds with her statement."

What she said on ABC last week.
In the ABC interview, all she said was:
"man's activities certainly can be contributing to the issue of global warming"
all that does is acknowledge the theoretical possibility.
And she said:
"man's activities can be attributed to changes"
that's just garbled syntax.
So, I don't think she said anything that would give the denier base in the Republican Party heartburn.
Yet she gave both Charlie Gibson and Jake Tapper the impression that she changed her position.
Gibson said: "now you’re beginning to say it is man-made"
And Tapper claimed she flip-flopped.
Win-win for Palin, I my opinion. No loss of the base and no loss of the swing vote.

Look at what Palin said in the transcript in the OP:
It's right out of the transcript. Here, I will cut and paste it again for you:

The title is not an exact quote. Anyway "contributed" would change the meaning. Or, it would infer a meaning base on garbled syntax. But it seems problematic to infer a meaning that contradicts her plain ungarbled denier statement of Aug 29:
"I'm not one, though, who would attribute it to being man-made."

Yep, and I think its a good thing for the most part.
