h2o absorbs almost the same wavelengths as co2 - compared to the amount of water in the atmosphere 0.04% sounds really small.
I think the issue is that water vapour coverage is not uniform over the whole earth, which is where CO2 has its effect
It's difficult to compare because while there is maybe 50 times as much water than co2 in the first 10 kilometers, there is no water above 20 but co2 doesn't wane until 80 km. Tim would say it's complicated. As far as I've seen the UN sponsored researchers avoid that topic.

yep, but I still think this isn't an argument the Right should be having, the only people gaining from this stalling are big companies, the people who may lose their entire way of life is everyone else on the planet.
We've see this a million times before, closed ecosystems get fucked over by the smallest changes in human behaviour.
Those elephants? oh the Chinese want their ivory - elephants all dead Those trees? oh the Brazilians want to grow coffee - orangutans all dead, trees dead, CO2 rises Those fish? oh we need cat food - fish stocks wiped out Those birds? oh we prefer cats and intensive farming - bird population wiped out
we can't keep dicking around with balanced systems and not expect anything bad to happen, and it's particularly retarded for the Right to be effectively sticking up for massive jew corporations who want to do just that
