Greenhouse theory smashed by biggest stone (most potent greenhouse gas is H2O)

Water vapour levels are even less within our control than CO2 levels.

Obviously, tackling this problem will cost even more than we thought [/sarcasm]

[Wil H]

We must eradicate all water from the planet immediately or we will all fry!

Dihydrogen Monoxide causes global warming!? OMG! Run for the hills!

"According to Shaidurov, only small changes in the atmospheric levels of water, in the form of vapour and ice crystals can contribute to significant changes to the temperature of the earth's surface, which far outweighs the effects of carbon dioxide and other gases released by human activities. Just a rise of 1% of water vapour could raise the global average temperature of Earth's surface more then 4 degrees Celsius."

[right right]

It sure makes more sense than the fossil fool theory. There were no fossil fuels burning back in the 13th? century when we went through the last temp rise. There are more trees in the USA today than when our Columbus discovered this place. Trees put H2O into the air. Makes more sense than the bearded smelly wackos goofy theory's.

This is dumb, Everyone know that global warming is caused by Fox News and Republicans.

"the apparent rise in average global"

Apparent to whom? Not to anyone smarter then an M&M.

GW is a politicial idology not a science.

Notice, we never had global warming problems until everyone started drinking all that bottled water. Now they're all sweating and raising the temperatures and ruining the earth.

They are finally talking about water vapor. Carbon dioxide is nothing compared to it.

Plus the water vapor rises more easily than CO₂. A moloecule with two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom is considerebly lighter than O_{2 or N2 (oxygen and nitrogen respectively) and its part of the reason why moisture laden air rises and convection works. (heat transfer is the other part of it).}

Water also has a high specific heat, meaning it can hold more thermal energy, per unit of its weight. That's why our oceans make such a good heat sink. Water can absorb heat without its own temperature rising as much as most other substances, due to its hydrogen bonds.

This study is sure to be ignored and its author's reputation smeared. Too many paychecks depend on the fossil-fuel-is-evil theory.

Water vapour levels are even less within our control than CO₂ levels.

Bingo. That's why the 'global warming' liberals have been avoiding the subject. As long as CO₂ can be nade the culprit, it was possible to connect it to mankind and industry....the two biggest enemies of liberalism.

They wanted to get control over energy, and thus have control over virtually all of man's activities. That's why people like George Soros et al sunk so much money into research grants paying scientists to reach foregone conclusions about global warming and ignoring all else.

Why else would they feel the need to realease another global warming scare story every few days?

"The event released as much energy as fifteen one-megaton atomic bombs."

Or one fifteen megaton bomb?

What kind of doofus wrote this piece of drivel?

[delacoert]

Shaidurov has concluded that only an enormous natural phenomenon, such as an asteroid or comet impact or airburst, could seriously disturb atmospheric water levels, destroying persistent so-called 'silver', or noctilucent, clouds composed of ice crystals in the high altitude mesosphere (50 to 85km).

Sheesh.

While the author of the article discusses global warming caused by greenhouse gases (including H₂O), Shaidurov's theory has little to do with greenhouses gases.

I know this just gets in the way of a good rant about the greenhouse gas theory of global warming -- rant away.

The simple expansion of irrigation on a massive scale, worldwide, plus building tens of thousands of golf courses with super-duper greens control systems, could explain everything.

The solution?

It Is all a LIE!
