Your assertion that Water Vapor is a "Powerful Greenhouse Gas", and all of your links claiming the same.

Yes.

But I guess since your links tell me the green house effect is a valuable and necessary aspect of our lives and the rain cycle. You tell me won't you?

Do you need to go through the difference between the natural greenhouse effect and the anthropogenic part of the greenhouse effect, that is causing global warming again?

  • The natural greenhouse effect warms the planet about 33°C.

  • The anthropgenic part of the greenhouse effect is the bit that's been warming on top of that for the past 100 years. It's only at about 1°C, but it's increasing.

  • The anthropogenic greenhouse effect is related to, and primarily caused by, the increase in atmospheric CO2. You can see the relationship in this chart.

Is there something there that you still don't understand?

The question you avoided was "What makes you think Water vapor is more dangerous than co2 emissions?"
