Water vapor constitutes Earth's most significant greenhouse gas,
accounting for about 95% of Earth's greenhouse effect (5).
Interestingly, many "facts and figures' regarding global warming
completely ignore the powerful effects of water vapor in the greenhouse
system, carelessly (perhaps, deliberately) overstating human impacts as
much as 20-fold.

Water vapor is 99.999% of natural origin. Other atmospheric greenhouse
gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and
miscellaneous other gases (CFC's, etc.), are also mostly of natural
origin (except for the latter, which is mostly anthropogenic).

Human activites contribute slightly to greenhouse gas concentrations
through farming, manufacturing, power generation, and transportation.
However, these emissions are so dwarfed in comparison to emissions from
natural sources we can do nothing about, that even the most costly
efforts to limit human emissions would have a very small-- perhaps
undetectable-- effect on global climate.
