“There is ten times more of water vapors in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and its ability to trap solar heat reflected from the Earth surface (heat capacity) is several times higher than the one of said carbon dioxide. “


I thought water vapour was 1.5 percent of atmospheric gases ?

Looking it up I found that the percentage of water vapor in the atmosphere ranges from 0.2% to 4%. So 1.5% is a nice median.

CO2 is currently 0.04% of the atmosphere. 1.5 divided by 0.04 = 37.5

By those figures water vapor is 37.5 times more prevalent than CO2.

Water content in the atmosphere is highly dependent on the temperature of the air. The warmer the air, the more moisture it can hold.
