What this video misses (among others) is that a rise in CO2 causes the water vapour to rise in a positive feedback loop. Also in other ways, this is an extremely naive video. You totally ignore CO2 cycles between air, ocean, and biomass. It doesn't all stay in the air. Better stick with the science.
@lveerman Except that scientists have only ever observed a negative feedback loop in the real world, which may explain why the planet has exited many ice ages without suffering runaway warming and an end to all life.
Oh, and one other thing: you should probably read what Bjorn Lomborg has said recently. For those who do not know, Lomborg has changed his perspective on AGW. "In a new book argues that global warming is “a challenge humanity must confront" and “undoubtedly one of the chief concerns facing the world today". Oh, I just loves it when deniers have to eat their words. How's it tasting, ghgemh? Kinda nasty, like J. Inhofe just pooped in your salad, eh?
@ghgemh I love it when amateurs put together nice, pretty graphs without providing any links to the scientific literature from which they might have originated. Although the graphs look compelling, there's not a shred of evidence to support them. In addition, the utter arrogance of such foolish nonsense, and the childish attempts to influence the ignorant, provide knee-slapping comedy for the rest of us who have at least made attempts to understand AGW. ghgemh, I salute you. The stupid, it burns
it's not in the charts because you are wrong - the most powerful GHG is water vapour! As he says, water vapour accounts for most of the GHG warming. methane is 0.00017% of the atmosphere.
@janama77 Water Vapor is not the most powerful GHG, it is the most abundant and as such has the greatest effect. CO2 does play a very important role, because as Davis et. al. pointed out in their recent paper (DOI: 10.1126/science.1190653) non-condensing GHGs are crucial for sustaining the feedback processes which account for the remaining 75% of greenhouse effect. Without them the greenhouse would collapse and Earth would enter a global glaciation.
Another denialist video to miseducate the gullible.

@thonbrocket Better yet reach for your glasses. Or would you call them 'glases'?

Co2 is warming a lot more then water vapor and methane is even multiple times stronger as co2. Where is that in your graph "mister scientist".
