Since water vapor (which makes up 2% of the atmosphere) is the source of Earth's greenhouse, not CO2 (0.04%), Lord help us if we ever start intentionally burning hydrogen instead of hydrocarbons.

In fact, burning gasoline produces 5 times as much water vapor as CO2 for the simple reason that their is five times as many hydrogen atoms in a molecule of gasoline as carbon.

If burning hydrocarbons is the source of our recent warm weather, it's because of the "hydro", not the "carbon"!
