I find it hard to believe that you said that, Mr. Flacaltenn. Water vapor keeps the Earth livable? No, water vapor is a feedback from CO2. When we had the snowball earth, the CO2 was at a very low level and only after the volcanoes had put enough CO2 back into the atmosphere, did the Earth warm up again.
SNOWBALL EARTH
Jeebus. Snowball earth had little atmospheric water vapor either. Didn't it? Water vapor is not a "feedback from CO2". CO2 is just a more persistent and better distributed form of "insulation". With slightly better heat absorption characteristics. Water vapor is the DOMINANT greenhouse gas by far. So dominant -- it swamps 1/3 to 1/2 of the absorption capacity of CO2 where it exists.
Aw shucks, and here I thought me cooking over coal was the problem! Now what do I do with all natural gas and passed gas I have hoarded. Maybe "old Rocks" and "flacaltenn" have a need for passed gas.
