> in the long term In the long term added CO2 outweighs. In the long term added water vapor has no effect, yet any carbon fuel extracted from the ground has a forever effect. The carbon in that fuel is never going back into the ground. The forest burns and releases carbon, a few years later the forest regrows and reabsorbs the carbon. A drop of oil is brought out of the ground, a million years later that drop of oil goes back into the ground.
