- spacemanmatt 12y agoIn the interest of being sure (because I'm interested) I had to second-guess that water is a greenhouse gas. NOAA had an interesting statement on it, which I'll just quote: "Water Vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, which is why it is addressed here first. However, changes in its concentration is also considered to be a result of climate feedbacks related to the warming of the atmosphere rather than a direct result of industrialization." And now I'm left wondering how to unpack that, politically AND scientifically. Ah, the luxuries of Saturday morning browsing.
