(Washington, DC) The Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to classify water vapor as a pollutant, due to its central role in global warming. Because water vapor is the dominant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, accounting for at least 90% of the Earth's natural greenhouse effect, its emission during many human activities, such as the burning of fuels, is coming under increasing scrutiny by federal regulators. ...

We really need to look at ridding the atmosphere of all that dang nitrogen while we're at it.

So much for the
"hydrogen economy"...

By the way water vapor is the #1 "green house gas".

I actually had to click the disclaimer link at the bottom of the page to make sure I understood what this truly was! :)

well they are trying to classify CO2 as a pollutant... why not water vapor?

while they are at it they should go ahead and require a prescription to buy water since it is a dangerous substance that kills millions of people each year, and studies have proven that every person that has ever died has drank some of it...

'Bout damn time the .gov did something practical for a change. The humidity around here makes this place like a swamp during the summer. I for one would welcome some dry air from June through September...

Looks like the EPA is steamed up over something again.
