"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?"

I think it's complex. Water vapor condenses around particles and forms clouds. Depending on factors which might include the angle of incidence and thickness of the cloud, as well as others such as moisture content, ice content, and color, clouds reflect some wavelengths (like some wavelengths of light), transmit other wavelengths, and absorb others (like ultraviolet). Those that are reflected from incident sunlight are reflected back into space; those that are reflected from the ground or ocean are reflected back to the ground. It might be that nobody really knows what the effect would be.

when you evaporate water it gives a cooling effect.
I think the moister the atmosphere the cooler the earth will become.
