Is Water Vapor a Greenhouse Gas?
It is hard to argue an agenda if your main argument is that water vapor is the issue. People wouldn't comprehend how something so necessary as water could be the problem.

The broader point which I should have made clearer is the assumption that water vapor is a GH gas that has a positive feedback effect when in fact it's just the opposite. This assumption was included in computer modeling which forecast greater temperatures due to higher co2 concentrations. Water vapor will stabilize any climate variation due to the concentration of other GH gases. It acts as a dampener in an analogous mass/spring/dampening system.
