- IPCC and all "related" scientists make a "fixette" on CO2 but they forget another component of hydrocarbons which is also a greenhouse gas: I named water vapor !
- A little chemistry to understand ...
* Let's take methane (CH4): if we burn it, we get 1 molecule of CO2 for ... 2 water molecules !
* If we take a heavier molecule (C5H12, for example), there is 5 molecules of CO2 for ... 6 water molecules !
- Now, I "soup sounds" strong steam more active for global warming than the CO2! Fossil hydrocarbons therefore produce more water vapor than CO2 (look at your muffler in winter!)! And that is what disturbs the climate (cyclones and storms more violent and more frequent) more than the CO2 because it is the water vapor which is the "engine" of the greatest climatic catastrophes today! Check!
- Cordially !
Absolutely. Water vapor is the main greenhouse gas. Steam contributes 60% to the planetary greenhouse effect, up to 90% if we also consider the clouds. Climatologists ignore ... until they find a way to accuse humans of causing increased water vapor ?!
