H2O vs. CO2 Yet another observation the AGW Cult will ignore

Water Vapor, CO2, and Global Warming​

MYTH: Water vapor is the most important, abundant greenhouse gas. So if we’re going to control a greenhouse gas, why don’t we control it instead of carbon dioxide (CO2)?

This is a common Misconception in the debate over greenhouse gases and the causes of global warming. Both water vapor and carbon dioxide are important greenhouse gases that play a crucial role in atmospheric warming. A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation in Earth’s atmosphere, thereby increasing temperatures. Which gas then is to blame for global warming and should be controlled?

Water vapor accounts for 60-70% of the greenhouse effect while CO2 accounts for 25% —a notable difference when numbers alone are compared. It would seem then that water vapor should be climatologists’ primary focus. However, water vapor cannot be controlled by human intervention; it is simply a Product of its environment.

The amount of water vapor the atmosphere can hold is dependent on temperature. Under normal conditions, most of the heat emitted from Earth’s surface in the form of long wave radiation goes into the atmosphere and out into space. However, the presence of increased greenhouse gases traps more long-wave radiation, which means there is more energy in the atmosphere to warm the Earth’s surface.

As the atmospheric temperature rises, more water is evaporated from ground storage, such as that found in our rivers, oceans, soils, and reservoirs. The released water vapor becomes a greenhouse gas where it then absorbs more energy radiated from the Earth and thus warms the atmosphere. The warmer atmosphere results in further water evaporation and the cycle continues. This mechanism is known as a Positive Feedback Loop.

Scientists then need to focus on what is causing air temperatures to rise in the first place. Heat from Other Greenhouse Gases is Causing atmospheric Warming, Leading to an increase in water evaporation and compounding the greenhouse effect.
Anthropogenic, or human-derived, CO2 serves as the Primary source of Warming with water vapor playing a Secondary role.
While CO2 occurs naturally in the atmosphere, human interference has interrupted the carbon cycle through activities, such as burning forests, mining, and burning coal. These activities artificially release more carbon from their solid storage to its gaseous state in the lower atmosphere. The rapid increase in CO2 volume has exceeded the amount oceans and vegetation are able to re-absorb. Furthermore, as deforestation continues around the world, there is less vegetation every year available to sequester the carbon. Thus, excess CO2 remains in the atmosphere where it traps heat and stimulates water evaporation."...."

Water vapor is a more powerful GHG that CO2. H2O is Mike Tyson and CO2 is Woody Allen

The "theory" of Manmade Global Climate Warming Change is that the relatively recent CO2 increase from 280 to 420PPM will cause an extinction level event rivaled by the dinosaur killing asteroid. "

But..."Water vapor is Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gas. It’s responsible for about half of Earth’s greenhouse effect — the process that occurs when gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap the Sun’s heat." Steamy Relationships: How Atmospheric Water Vapor Amplifies Earth's Greenhouse Effect – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet

If H2O is more powerful where are the studies showing H2O back in 1850? What are they today? Does an additional 100PPM H2O raise temperature more that CO2

So you failed your HS science classes.

Great answer!

Maybe rethink your dedication to a Cult that can’t answer basic questions

Afraid to answer. You can’t read either.

You are

You are

You sound pretty stupid claiming water vapor is a more important factor in global warming than CO2 when it’s CO2 that increases the moisture content of air in our atmosphere. Geesus, are you that sheltered you have never laid foot in a green house…
Maybe you still live in yo mama’s basement.

Here is some reading material from Yale. You know, one of those fake AGW supporters accepting money from China through Hunters salary

"Water vapor is known to be Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gas, but the extent of its contribution to global warming has been debated. Using recent NASA satellite data, researchers have estimated more precisely than ever the heat-trapping effect of water in the air, validating the role of the gas as a critical component of climate change."

So bizarre that there’s a 450,000 side by side dataset clearly showing CO2 lagggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggging temperature by 1,000 years on both increase AND decrease. Temperature warmer = more water vapor in atmosphere and CO2 gets dragged behind it.

You sound crazy claiming that CO2 does the driving

Funny, no climate science agrees with you. I suppose you’ve never been in a green house. You flunked science class....You fool’s aren’t even scientists, you’re big oil lackeys.
Co2 gets dragged behind ? Guess you never analyze what comes of the tail pipes of cars bozo. Never been to a green house and never passed a science class without cheating.

 

[Dagosa]

Could?

Hahaha hahaha

You’re speechless. Now claim you’re smarter than Yale. You don’t sound very bright do you ?

Are you and these imaginary “climate scientists” claiming that modern, American CO2 is more forceful than the CO2 in the climate record???

I say they could be wrong and I’m just as smart!

 

[Dagosa]

Really. If Yale is wrong, so accrediting to you 30k other accredited institutes are too. You’re saying you‘re smarter than the collective work of every accredited climate research institute. You’re crazy….you’re full of shit and worse, you’re anti American.
