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
On the other side: Eco systems are permanently changing. We have had cold and warm periods in the middle ages. Most changes are inevitable because bigger systems like the sun play a role. Life forms adapt and find an equilibrium in new eco systems. Nature is stable because it permanently changes.
People adapt too, building desalination plants, dams, or isolate their homes for example. Adaption needs energy. The CO2 discussion is about energy: Who is allowed to use energy in the future and at what price. The losers with a low energy budget cannot travel, will freeze in their homes, and will have no purified water. The middle class will pay energy taxes until there is no middle class anymore. The rich will travel around in their private jets and show us in the metaverse how they protect the wilderness.
