This video clip from the documentary “Global Warming or Global Governance” talks about the proportional roles that various greenhouse gasses have in warming the climate.

The overwhelming majority of the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere is water vapor including clouds, which makes up 97% of all greenhouse gasses, with Carbon Dioxide making up less than 2%, with the remaining amount being made up of methane, chlorofluorocarbons, and nitrous oxide.

Since man’s activies account for only 3% of the total carbon dioxide amount, it means that man is responsible for no more than 1% of all greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.

The greenhouse power of water is demonstrated by the fact that temperatures in the desert can reach 110 degrees F, and then drop of 65 degrees during the night, being a drop of a 45 degrees due to the lack of moisture in the air.  Conversely, in the humid Southern US daytime temperates rarely go above 100 degrees F, and drop to only 80 degrees F, which is a difference of only 20 degrees.

The greenhouse effect of clouds is also readily apparent, where the temperature would drop to 50 degrees at night when it is clear, but it would remain at 65 degrees at night when it is cloudy.

Professor Tim Patterson, Dept. of Earth Sciences, University of Carleton: “If you want to categorize greenhouse gasses ...  Greenhouse gasses number one, two, three and four is water vapor, with Carbon Dioxide being a distant five.  CO2 has an influence, but it is certainly not significant enough for us to worry about.”

Tim Patterson, in testimony before Canada’s House of Commons Subcommittee on the Environment and Sustainable Development, Feb 10, 2005, “The paleoclimatic data that I and others have collected [shows] it is obvious that climate is and always has been variable.  In fact, the only constant about climate is change.  Change is continuous.”
