Re: fishing for facts
Besides, the global warming is not being caused by water, its being caused by carbon dioxide and other harmful substances. We cant compare apples with oranges.
Sorry, wrong again. Among several different greenhouse gases, and water vapor makes the most significant contribution, responsible for up to 2/3 of the greenhouse effect. Thus, if the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere increased to the extent required by the water canopy fantasy, temperatures would rise by 100s of degrees, nothing at all like the "warm, humid" climate you imagine.

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and non-believers. -- Barack Obama
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat
