Why would you want to quit burning hydrocarbons? The combustion product of hydrogen is water vapor, which is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxi

Why would you want to quit burning hydrocarbons? The combustion product of hydrogen is water vapor, which is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
- snewman 4y agoThis is confused: water vapor is indeed a fairly potent greenhouse gas, but it remains in the atmosphere for only a short time. Adding water vapor to the atmosphere, even in large quantities, does not result in any non-rounding-error impact on climate. See https://climateer.substack.com/i/60052576/you-thought-the-main-greenhouse-gas-was-co-but-its-actually-water-vapor https://climateer.substack.com/i/60052576/you-thought-the-ma... for a slightly longer explanation.
- taskforcegemini 4y agocan you elaborate on this? wouldn't the albedo effect eventually block more energy from entering than from leaving?
