What about all the H2O that hydrogen produces? Won't all that water vapour form a greenhouse gas and heat the planet up still further?

However -->

After a few days like we had in Toronto in the past couple, most people would go for a bit of global warming.

Did you ever stop to think about how weird the planet is? Most of it is covered by a metal-salt contaminated sea of di-hydrogen monoxide. The rest is a frozen custard crust of silicon oxide and other metal-silicon oxides floating on a semi-molten sea of metal and metal-silicon oxide. With all that oxidization there must have been a great fire at some early time. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide-monoxide formations of acids and amines make up impossibly complex parasitic automata that feed off the mineral oxide and salts and decomposed automata and other complex forms. The metal salt contaminated water, when further contaminated with with iron oxide, forms a carrier fluid that nourishes the complex automata form-symbiotes by oxidant exchange.

I got one question about all this. What's the point?

"We could see a good part of it come from Canola in the form of Biodiesel fuel. Trees grow much slower.
Coal has a problem in generating CO2 - a greenhouse gas. If you believe the scientists, we're in for a massive problem in climate change in the near future if we don't change our habits."

When burned, all carbon based fuels, including wood, coal, ethanol, propane, gasoline, petroleum, methane (natural gas), and vegetable oil, yield carbon dioxide as the end product.

There is an advantage in not using fossil fuels (coal, natural gas and petroleum products like gasoline and propane), in that if you use trees or crops, they pull carbon dioxide out of the air to grow, and when you burn them it just puts back into the air what they pulled out. So you don't add any additional carbon dioxide to the air.
