“The issue is not does an increase in carbon in the atmosphere increase the capture of heat, that is a very easily testable claim. Yes it does. You would have to deny basic chemistry and physics to deny it.

The question is, is it sufficient to alter the measurable weather patterns.”

and just what does water vapor do in the atmosphere since there is hundreds of times the amount of it versus co2????

my braintrust tells me water vapor is 100 times the global warming cause than co2 is. how do we stop water from evaporating einstein????

I like to think that much of it is due to the activities of Mr Sun...:)

but that would just make too much sense, wouldn’t it?

"and just what does water vapor do in the atmosphere since there is hundreds of times the amount of it versus co2"

Depends, it can block light and reflect it back into space resulting in the opposite effect. We commonly refer to them as clouds.

"my braintrust tells me water vapor is 100 times the global warming cause than co2 is."

Well your brain trust appears to be smoking crack. Walk outside on a cloudy (high water vapor)day and say that with a straight face. May I ask who these brainy ones are?
