The most intensive greenhouse gas is.......... Water vapor. By an exponential factor. We have a simulator where you can build out a planets atmosphere and adjust different factors of the inorganic carbon cycle. You can add literal shit loads of methane and carbon dioxide to an atmosphere and barely affect the surface temperature on a planet. However add some water vapor and you have an inevitable run away green house affect. Apparently the 'science' doesn't actually work out in Al Gore's favor. For a perfect example we just have to look at venus. They think Venus actually had oceans on its surface at one point, and based on its proximity to the sun, the oceans went into the atmosphere and had a runaway green house affect. It wasn't ruined by some master race of idiots burning fossil fuels like the liberals want you to think.
Yep and number TWO is carbon dioxide. So if everything living would simply stop BREATHING we'd be just fine. The fact that most of the global warming crowd ignore number one and two is always interesting to me. Thankfully both recycle back to the planet in the form of rain and plant absorption of CO2 or we'd really be screwed.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
