Water Vapor Causing Climate Warming

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the round-and-round-we-go dept.

karvind writes "According to BBC, new studies suggest that water vapor rather than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the main reason why Europe's climate is warming. The scientists say that rising temperatures caused by greenhouse gases are increasing humidity, which in turn amplifies the temperature rise. This is potentially a positive feedback mechanism which could increase the impact of greenhouse gases such as CO2. Even though 2005 will probably be warmest year, climatologists still differ in opinion"

    If you actually read the IPCC reports, and the peer reviewed criticisms

    Translation: the echo chambers, filled with people who've remained sequestered from the real world all their lives.
