ABSTRACT

Mark Harris at Northern Caribbean University proposed a significant but hitherto unheralded role of the greenhouse gas and suggested a potential effect of sensible heat released by the condensation of “new” water vapor in the relatively cool exhaust systems of millions of automobile engines daily. Climate models predict that as the climate warms from the burning of fossil fuels, the concentrations of water vapor will also increase in response to that warming. Since a continuous direct relationship between water vapor and CO2 has been established, and CO2 has been steadily rising during the same time period, it must be concluded that water vapor has also been rising in the atmosphere concurrently with CO2. Combustion of fossil fuels provides three heat sources: exothermic, positive feedback from all new atmospheric water and friction of product molecules. Tropical volcanoes lead to a stronger polar vortex and positive arctic oscillation in winter, which mean less cold in Western Europe and eastern U.S.
