Water vapour, the unknown factor, till now. [moved]
-
Water Vapor Largely Responsible for Global Warming..."What I will say, is that this shows there are climate scientists round the world who are trying very hard to understand and to explain to people openly and honestly what has happened over the last decade." ...The research, facilitated by a state-of-the-art NASA satellite codenamed AIRS, suggests that water vapor is responsible for twice the global warming effect of carbon dioxide, both man-made and naturally occurring. While this theory was has been carried by climate change skeptics for some time, global warming advocates dismissed them, saying that water vapor in the atmosphere was only a feedback effect caused by human emissions. NASA scientist Eric Fetzer say that the new study created models much more accurate to past events than those previously used by climate change advocates, and proves that "water vapor is the big player in the atmosphere as far as climate is concerned." [^] It looks like the issue of water vapour, always discounted by the GCMs, is being explored more completely. Lets hope with the current fiasco taking pace at the IPCC, and CRU that we might see some more mature science, and prognostications, in the future.

And we've blamed petrol for global warming all these years. :omg:

About time! After all, the IPCC reduced CO2 forcing from 2.4 to 1.7 for the 4th AR. There is no reason it cant be reduced further now that more research is being done into previously mis-understood factors. Next solar. and coamic rays and CO2 can be put way at the back.

Heretic! Beer production produces vast amounts of CO2! And bread! They must be banned immediately! :)

You need to drink up then. :laugh: By the way I am a teetotaler, just thought the comment needed made.

Pay close attention to the bit in bold...
http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/vapor_warming.html[^]
Andrew Dessler and colleagues from Texas A&M University in College Station confirmed that the heat-amplifying effect of water vapor is potent enough to double the climate warming caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
...and again, the bit in bold. The second article, used as a source by the first, implies that water vapor acts as an amplifier on warming caused by CO2, not a separate and doubly-effective factor in warming. A small change in wording, but a rather large difference in meaning! Nate Kharrl needs to go back to grade school.

pshaw. don't you know that some things are just too exciting to get right ?
