    I?m afraid that you have totally failed to justify NASA?s
    position that
    water vapour in the atmosphere is both a Potent Greenhouse Gas, except when it isn?t, and it acts indirectly except when it doesn?t.

    But then again, you have said you believe the experts, so all this for you
    is a faith issue rather than a scientific one.

    US Department of Energy report, 'A Critical Review of Impacts
    of Greenhouse
    Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate', challenges central claims,
    data handling and motivations behind mainstream climate science
    and policy. It asserts:

    - CO2 has direct environmental benefits.
    - Climate models consistently overestimate warming.
    - No US long-term upward trend in "extreme weather".
    - Ocean acidification fears exaggerated.
    - U.S. emission reductions will have negligible impact on
    global climate.

    Can someone tell Ed that his $cience isn't settled?

    Well it's the Washington Post. Pretty much owned by the GreenBlob

    Who have been cherry-picking key data and misrepresenting the state of
    climate research for decades. Along with the NYT.

    I didn't think it was that bad. Some quite considered analysis, insofar as I understand the science. But overemphasised CO2, and underemphasised other variables.

    Its main purpose was, I feel, to underpin accelerated investment in the use
    and extraction of fossil fuels, rather than an outright denial of
    anthropogenic climate change.

    The climate believers never have cherry-picked data, of course, like the
    single Siberian bristlecone pine tree that was the only one used from the
    batch of about 40 that were examined, and used to ‘prove’ global warming existed.
