If instead of relying on the false confidence of "peer-reviewed" papers, you actually use your own mind a little, you will see that in the charts I posted, which [were, by the way, released by the Goddard EOS Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC,)] you will see that Co2 is already absorbing well over two-thirds of the total radiance is is capable of absorbing at any concentration. (In the wavenumber range of 525 to 725)
But in the same charts you will also see that a change in the concentration of water can change the amount of radiation absorbed by the atmosphere much more than the total additional absorbtion available to Co2 in any quantity.
These facts are well known to physicists and engineers, but are largely ignored by global warming alarmists, even though their papers are "peer-reviewed."
This is a variation of the myth presented here.
Explaining how the water vapor greenhouse effect works
Water vapor is the most powerful greenhouse gas
“Water vapour is the most important greenhouse gas. This is part of the difficulty with the public and the media in understanding that 95% of greenhouse gases are water vapour. The public understand it, in that if you get a fall evening or spring evening and the sky is clear the heat will escape and the temperature will drop and you get frost. If there is a cloud cover, the heat is trapped by water vapour as a greenhouse gas and the temperature stays quite warm. If you go to In Salah in southern Algeria, they recorded at one point a daytime or noon high of 52 degrees Celsius – by midnight that night it was -3.6 degree Celsius. […] That was caused because there is no, or very little, water vapour in the atmosphere and it is a demonstration of water vapour as the most important greenhouse gas.” (Tim Ball)
(Tim Ball is not a climatologist by the way, something he likes to lie about).
However, the answer is:
Increased CO2 makes more water vapor, a greenhouse gas which amplifies warming

Oh, this claim.
Evidence for even one of your claims here? Like: only deserts with little water are expanding (they're not, some of these deserts used to have enough water to supply some mild vegetation and bushes). Oh, and you need to prove your assertion that the earth is not getting warmer, it is. Last year broke all kinds of records.If "global warming" causes the desert areas of the earth to expand, the areas with very little water will expand, producing a counter effect that will balance the temperature rise. Such an expansion of deserts is happening now, both in southwestern United States and northwestern Brazil, as well as in Australia. This is one of the reasons why the earth is not getting warmer, even though the levels of Co2 are rising.
