re:"but the effect of climate on water vapor and vice versa is amazingly complex."

There are other variables of course, but in the main it's as I described. It's not so complex that you have to invoke an intelligent designer. The scientists of every country in the world agree that CO2 is the major problem that we face and luckily can do something about.

re:"So CO2 is not very significant. "

In the simple experiment I described for you in which we increase CO2 concentration in the atmosphere while exposing it to a simulated sun, I asked if you thought the temperature would rise?
Remember I told you that CO2 is more thermal insulating than air.

re:"Did you know that times as warm as we enjoy now have been very rare over the last couple million years? Over the long haul, warming will not be the climate danger we face."

That's the very point.....the earth's warming is happening because the CO2 concentration has been increasing rapidly as we continue to increase the amount of fossil fuels we burn.
