I don't know the exact r-squared. However, water vapor is also highly correlated to temperature, it being a heat trapper. However, water vapor content in our atmosphere continues to fluctuate within the normal upper and lower control limits, since it has natural sinks and negative feedback mechanisms that don't lead to runaway water vapor concentrations. CO2 on the other hand continues to increased at an accelerated pace due to human activity and the natural sinks that used to control this have been steadily eroded, phytoplankton being one of your favorites. So what we need to worry about are the runaway GHGs like CO2, not the self-correcting ones like water vapor. en.wikipedia.org
