minus-squareMoira_Mayhem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoOf course you didn’t bother to include the compounding greenhouse effect from increased water vapor, which is significantly worse than CO2. Just we don’t talk about it as much because water vapor levels are historically stable. Unfortunately, losing albedo effects from icecap melting is making it far easier for water to get into the atmosphere in large amounts. So it’s not been stable for a bit now. I expect within 5 years it will be a major talking point
