>>11596110Predictably you failed to answer my question. I will give you the answer in this post but you get an F.
>guess it has an insulating effect like a greenhouse might aye?That's no different from any other matter in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is characterized by an assymetric response to incoming energy vs. outgoing energy, producing a higher surface temperature than what would occur without an atmosphere. Clouds are the exact opposite.
Why do you continue to argue as if your ignorance of this topic has not already been revealed? It's pathetic.
>look its as simple as this.>water = 99% of greenhouse>CO2 = 1% of greenhouseIt's not that simple. You would know this if you had even the slightest intellectual curiosity in climate science. But you are only interested in lying about it. Two reasons:
1. Water vapor concentration is determined by temperature of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is generally saturated so releasing water vapor into the atmosphere in one place leads to it precipitating out in another. Temperature determines how much water vapor the atmosphere can hold. So water vapor is part of a feedback loop with temperature. It is not a primary cause of temperature change or "radiative forcing." Rather, primary causes change the temperature, which changes water vapor concentration, which changes temperature further.
In other words, saying water vapor is causing warming just begs the question, what is causing water vapor to change? Water vapor will not be a penultimate answer to this question, some other driver of temperature will.
Reason #2 follows.
