“Since water vapor is the most effective greenhouse gas, the climate modelers claimed Earth might heat by 5 or even 10 degrees C.”
Referring to water as a pollutant would not sell to even the thickest headed of us (Marxists excluded). Perhaps that’s why they’re making “carbon” the boogieman. Sounds like demon coal.
Now it’s facing doom from liberals and the purveyors of MSBS.

President Trump made an important step in stopping the "global warming" nonsense when he refused to have the US participate in the Paris accord any longer. I think that once the US stops this nonsense and stops throwing money at it, the rest of the world will follow. I'm pretty sure the "global warming" craze started with the US in the first place.
A drop from 5,000 ppm to 400 ppm of CO2 is huge. At some point, the concentration is too low for plants to be able to pull CO2 from the air--at which time, life on earth comes to a halt. When more CO2 enters the air, plants extract it and grow more, and everything that depends on plants has more food... in other words, more CO2 equals more living things.
Considering that 69% of the planet is ocean, where did those 400 feet of water come from?
Ping.
Michael Moore/Al Gore’s new movie is about to hit the theaters. Would you pay $12 to go and laugh/ridicule it for all the others in the theater to hear?
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.

“and water vapor has not increased despite the higher levels of CO2 in the air. Is that why the IPCC models have predicted more than twice as much warming as we’ve actually seen?”
This is the positive feedback that all these models use, more co2 means warmer temps which mean more water vapor which means warmer temps which mean more water vapor till you get a cascade increase
