Water vapor is excluded from the above calculation because it is an intimate and highly variable part of the climate system itself in the form of clouds, rain, snow and other weather. Yes Water vapor is excluded, When it forms clouds of ice crystals it perfectly reflects all solar energy back into space and does not in any way change the frequency of the reflected radiation. The fact all radiation has been reflected suggests the current 10% additional C02 in the atmosphere has no energy to trap. And water vapor is excluded by the simple minded find it too difficult to comprehend and thus must deny it. engineeringtoolbox.com In a place like antarctica that averages over a mile high height, the always white surface at such high altitudes reflects all solar energy all the time. And there is also lot less atmosphere from a mile up to space than from sea level upto space.
