Manmade Global Warming: The Story & the Reality

My reply:

 The only way that atmospheric H20 can be a greenhouse gas that can radiate IR back to Earth’s surface and raise its temperature is if it’s in gaseous form, because H20 is a polar molecule. Vapor contains water droplets, which are Planck radiators, but only at the temperature of the frigid ambient air, hence useless for surface heating. Even if there were gaseous H20 in the sky any radiation from it would likely soon be absorbed by water vapor, rendering it useless for surface heating. To even be in the sky, surface H20 has had to soak up a bunch of surface heat, cooling it from the get-go. The lapse rate insures that the atmosphere quickly grows frigid with altitude. When precipitation falls, it cools the Earth’s surface more than the Sun ever heated it.

Thus it’s a misnomer to call atmospheric H20 a greenhouse gas.It’s actually a refrigerator in the sky.
