Here are a few facts: Over 95 percent of the greenhouse effect is the result of water vapor in Earth's atmosphere.
There's not a single source that says that. Generally the number is estimated to be a 1/3 to 2/3.

I don't particularly care. As far as I'm concerned, NASA is my bible here. What they say is somewhere in between the global warming extremists and the skeptical extremists. They have the most advanced technology studying this phenomenon, so I'm just going to take their word over everybody else's, Al Gore's as well as the skeptics'.

Have a nice day.
