CO2 has been 'identified' as a GHG.

Water vapor is considered the strongest of GHGs.

... So, is water (vapor) a toxic pollutant?

No answer?... Thanks for proving my point




Water vapour produced by "contrails' - those fleecy billowing trails of white that so often mark the flight path



of high flying aircraft are being INDICTED for making MAJOR CHANGES to our climate!


Contrails block sunlight and produce a MARKED REDUCTION in daytime heat!


The phenomenon was first studied in detail during WW2 - when the biggest air raid of the war - involving over 1500 Yankee B-17



bombers and over 1000 escort fighters assembled over Britain and climbed to their operational height of 35,000 ft and then went off to



Germany! With the result that air temperature on the ground in England PLUNGED by 15 degrees in a few hours!



Grumpy Greta the Demon Swede is right about ONE THING! That air travel IS BAD for the environment!


That Swedish group known as "Flight Shame" IS ON TO SOMETHING as they try to get us to ride trains instead of airplanes!

Water vapour is not a toxic pollutant and neither is CO2.

What was your point?

That should mean the globull warming truthers would like air travel. After all they are concerned about the earth getting too hot and contrails will lower the temperature.

I'll go along with that but one cannot protest oil and shill for solar at the same time. There are places where solar power has been a great lift for the population but it will not replace, or even put a dent in the need for oil and gas in my lifetime. There are also a lot of fossil fuel protesters tha end up pushing for nuclear instead. IMHO nuclear is the worst power source imaginable.
Since in fact nuclear is one of the best and safest alternatives, then we may safely assume that the rest of your post is also wrong.

That's pretty foxing stupid. Contrails don't produce water, they just condense it out of the air. Hence "condensation trails," abbreviated to "contrails."

I'd like to see the evidence of that.

Too Much Carbon Dioxide Is Toxic
Symptoms of carbon dioxide toxicity include high blood pressure, flushed skin, headache and twitching muscles. At higher levels, you could experience panic, irregular heartbeat, hallucinations, vomited and potentially unconsciousness or even death.
