Why does being an animal preclude you from using reason and empathy?
That's an excellent question to be directed at you, but not at me, because I don't believe I'm wholly animal.
Of the most important greenhouse gases, water vapor and clouds are by far the most important. Carbon dioxide comes in a distant second and man-caused carbon dioxide is hardly a blip on the scale.
In the end, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided that he did not want to condemn Russia to perpetual poverty.
At the U.N. World Climate change Conference, held in Moscow September 29October 3, Putins government shocked the global warming crowd by announcing that Russia did not intend to ratify the Kyoto Protocol on climate change. Even worse for the climate scaremongers, Russian scientists one after another attacked the notion that there was anything like a scientific consensus on whether the earth was heating up and, if so, what to do about it.
Recent Russian elections have been much more straight up and believable than ours have. Do actually believe there could be such a thing as a voting precinct around Philly in which Romney and Ryan don't get a single vote??
I'm not sure where you got under 1%. I've always seen CO2 change of around 25%.

Slaves voting?
At Athenian town meetings, it was only the Scythian slaves who were armed. The only possible interpretation of that is that being an Athenian slave was so far above being a Scythian that it wasn't even worth thinking about.
You cannot try to project 20'th and 21'st centurty values into past ages, nothing you see will make sense.
In those days, being a slave was just another job description. It was what low information voters did for a living.
Ever wonder how states like Ohio, Florida, or Pennsylvania whose state houses are overwhelmingly Republican still vote for bad dem candidates for president or how a place like Louisiana would have a dem US senator?
Basically, what I think is going on, is that they can manufacture all the votes they want in places like Dade county or Philly and it won't buy them a state house, the Republicans will still win their own districts. It's only in a statewide or national election that vote manufacturing buys anything.
Here's what we're talking about:
You are the one who thinks that being an animal precludes you from having reason, logic, and empathy, not I. I am asking why you think that is. Why can't you have humanity and also be an animal? Why can't you be an organism that is complex, ingests food, moves about, and responds to stimuli while also being human? What is it about those 4 simple things that stops you from using your brain to see the effect that your actions will have on future generations.

there's still no snow here in Sweden, most ski places are desperate because of the lack of snow.
