Steaming Mad!

I blogged yesterday about how the Liberals somehow missed including the auto industry in the 700 big polluters. Guess that producing cars isn't very polluting, so the oil pipelines should be exempted as well, hummm? They don't pollute, they just carry the polluting oil.

Here's something that has been simmering in my brain since I heard it. PM Harper was in BC talking about the hydrogen highway, sounds good, except for something PM Harper said, he said something about how hydrogen cars are non-polluting because they only emit water vapour. Having read up about GHG's, this struck my as funny because, water vapour is the BIGGEST GHG.

The major natural greenhouse gases are water vapor, which causes about 36-70% of the greenhouse effect on Earth (not including clouds);

So 36% to 70% of GHG's are caused by water vapour, CO2, not so much (9-26%). So, why aren't the environmentalists screaming about how bad hydrogen cars are because they increase GHG's? What am I missing here? Are hydrogen cars good because they don't run on gas? Why aren't they insisting that we reduce water vapour?

This stinks to high heaven, environmentalists are ignoring the worse offender of GHG's, water vapour, and they are actually encouraging more water vapour by staying silent about hydrogen cars. Anyone else see a pattern here? Liberals will not punish the auto industry, and environmentalists will not say anything about hydrogen cars. Hummm!

All those water vapours, are making me steaming mad!
