[QUOTE="Loudmouth, post: 66579262, member: 11790"] Miskolczi just assumes they are a constant without supplying a mechanism whereby an increase in CO2 automatically changes water vapor content to maintain the same optical depth. This is refuted by the data itself which shows that water vapor is actually increasing and that optical depth is not a constant. But you are right about water vapor being transient. The half life of any water molecule in the air is about 2 weeks. Water vapor is constantly precipitating out of the atmosphere which means that it can't increase temps over long time periods. However, CO2 does have a long residency time in the atmosphere that is measured in decades. This is why CO2 can drive long term climate. [/QUOTE]
