Isn't Dihydrogen Monoxide the biggest greenhouse gas?

Question

Thanks for the entertainment folks! Good Job!

Answer 1

Yes, but it can't create global warming.

Excess water falls out of the atmosphere as precipitation, fast.  It can't stay there long enough to create warming.

Excess CO2 stays there for years.  It can and does create global warming.  More here:

oracle2world - Solar cycles called Milankovic cycles cool us into ice ages.  How do we know it's not that warming us now?

We measure the Sun.

Do you actually think scientists don't know this stuff?  Or that they're engaged in a giant conspiracy?

Answer 2

Hahahaha no, it's just a great drug. =]

I take it all the time. It's practically 70% of my body.

Answer 3

Dear Bob, yes H2O can and does create global warming aka greenhouse effect.

Since hotter temperatures evaporate more water that puts more water vapor into the air that traps more heat that evaporates more water ... the oceans should have evaporated eons ago.

They haven't.

So whatever feedback mechanism is working with water vapor, can handle CO2.

If CO2 were really a climate driver, why did this planet EVER cool off and extensively glaciate?

Answer 4

Biggest in what aspect, molecular size? Even then, it'd be methane.

Answer 5

You are asking is it the most influential in our atmosphere?  Yes, you are correct, it is the most effective greenhouse gas, based on percentages of heating.  

Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas, but there isnt much of it in the atmosphere.  Water is abundant though.

Answer 6

What a wet question!

Answer 7

yes. but it can only cause feedback from warming not cause warming.

Answer 8

No, I don't think water is the "biggest" greenhouse gas.  I think its methane from cow flatulents.

Answer 9

yes it is and it has infinitely (figuratively speaking) more effect on the "greenhouse effect" then carbon dioxide.  Of note, a byproduct from the use of hydrogen fuel cells is dihydrogen monoxide.  Question: Since dihydorogen monoxide has more of an effect on global warming then carbon dioxide and once hydrogen fuel cells become commonly used, how long do you think it will take these global warming nuts to label dihydorogen monoxide a pollutant as they have done with carbon dioxide?  Additionally, the governor of Maryland wants to implement global warming policies that reduce CO2 in Maryland by 90% by 2050.  Given that BWI-based air traffic is a major contributor, wonder if the governor plans to close the airport?  Eliminating air traffic is the only way he will be able to fulfill this plan.  Perhaps he plans to develop a new version of plane that runs of solar panels or windmills - better yet, maybe he has been in touch with those aliens in area 51 and he knows of a secret plan to develop flying saucers...  It really does not matter.  Recently Al Gore said that his scientists have concluded that the arctic ice will be gone in only 5 years now.  A few years ago he also said that this melting would raise sea levels by 20 feet.  Therefore, assuming a linear progression of melting, the sea level should rise by about 4 feet a year over the next 5 years!  If you own beach front property, sell it now!!!  In fact, sea levels should rise - on average - 2 feet every 6 months for the next 5 years!  If global sea levels rise by even two feet, rather then four feet, over the next year, I will consider believing in Al Gore and his fruitcake scientists.

Answer 10

Yes it is, by a huge margin.
