re:I know that its just plain wrong for the US to consume a 1/4 of the world's resources when it has only 3% of its population..........wrong on several levels. Not when you consider our production, they nearly match. They do? Show me. re:Show me a link where it says the most important gas in global warming is water vapor...... They all do, it has an effect that dwarfs the CO2 component. Many scientists believe it may actually moderate or regulate the effects of CO2. lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov Water Vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, which is why it is addressed here first. However, changes in its conentration is also considered to be a result of climate feedbacks related to the warming of the atmosphere rather than a direct result of industrialization. The feedback loop in which water is involved is critically important to projecting future climate change, but as yet is still fairly poorly measured and understood. I think that pretty much says it........increased water vapor is due to the warming of the atmosphere but may not be a direct result of industrialization. The increasing CO2 is a direct result whereas the increased water vapor is a byproduct. Thanks for making my point.
