I just walked outside. I have a microtemp MTPRO, it is a non contact IR thermometer, It observes a 5 degree cone. aiming at the overcast sky from horizon to verticle it measured 55.F That is the current air temperature. The MTPRO measures -76 to 900+F IR in the 5-14um spectrum. The closest to me current report, by a radio shack kit 3 miles away. 2008_June06,12:02PM \| 59.9 °F \| Dew Point: 55°F \| Humidity: 83% \| Visibility: 5.0miles \| Wind Gust:4.0 \| Pressure: 29.79in \| Overcast 300 ft / 91 m Get the dew point down to 32F and looking up my instrument will see -50 and even lower in clear skys. Else it reads the temp of the clouds being viewed. That is the tangible measurement of the impact of h20 for variations of humidity. I have a 60 dollar tool. It seems with all the bucks others have no one can observe by any means a temperature change caused by several ppm annual variation of CO2 measured at MonaLoa. Yet CO2 is assigned 32W/m^2 and H20 is assigned 60 W/m^2 in radiative forcing. So to me the numbers given are meaningless in any real world mechanism.
