Words only have meaning in context and while it may be true that water vapor is a greenhouse gas in the sense that more of it in the atmosphere will absorb more infrared radiation and warm the climate, it is not a greenhouse gas in the sense that it is a gas we need to seriously worry about adding directly to the atmosphere.

When you add up that there is more methane being emitted than E.P.A. has estimated, that methane is responsible for up to half of all the greenhouse gas emissions for the entire US, and that each unit of methane emitted is far more important in causing global climate change over the critical few decades ahead, it should be clear that bridge - fuel argument just doesn't hold up.

Poor countries say industrial powers, which have spent a century or more benefiting from fossil fuels while adding billions of tons of heat - trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, owe them both financial assistance in dealing with rising seas or shifting rains and a stable climate, which they say can be achieved only if rich countries commit to deep prompt cuts in their emissions.

I would argue that throwing added climate forcing at northern Africa (from the developed world) through greenhouse gas increases makes the need for some real support even more imperative.

According to McNider et al., the minimum temperatures are more a fucntion of heat redistribution during evening hours versus additional nighttime heat being added by greenhouse gases.

So with the «greenhouse gas effect» if I add more CO2 AND all other things remain equal, temperature will increase, but if clouds are a regulating mechanism, adding more CO2 doesn't have to change temperature at all, just the amount of energy required to maintain that temperature would be reduced.

This means that the «pause,» or whatever you want to call it, in the rise of global surface temperatures is even more significant than it is generally taken to be, because whatever is the reason behind it, it is not only acting to slow the rise from greenhouse gas emissions but also the added rise from changes in aerosol emissions.
