Water vapour impact far outweighs impact of CO2
Water vapour impact far outweighs impact of CO2☜Water vapour is the most significant greenhouse gas, accounting for around 98% of the Earths natural greenhouse warming effect. So changes in carbon dioxide or methane concentrations will have a relatively small impact.☜98CE71

Significance of water vapour effect is overstated
Significance of water vapour effect is overstated☜The statement that water vapour is 98% of the greenhouse effect is simply false. In fact, it does about 50% of the work; clouds add another 25%, with CO2 and the other greenhouse gases contributing the remaining quarter.☜EF597B

Long-term accumulation of trace gases in atmosphere
Long-term accumulation of trace gases in atmosphere☜Trace greenhouse gases such as CO2 stay in the atmosphere on a timescale of decades to centuries—whereas water vapour is essentially in balance with the Earths temperature on annual timescales and longer.☜EF597B

Water vapor is a non-issue when discussing climate change mitigation
Water vapor is a non-issue when discussing climate change mitigation☜Not because water vapor is not a greenhouse gas. It certainly is. But it is purely reactive in effect. If you warm the atmosphere through CO2 emissions, water vapor will amplify that warming. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it, since warmer air can hold more water. Mitigation conversations need to address those greenhouse gases we can do something about, while of course incorporating the water vapor feedback effect.☜EF597B
