That so-called "primer" neglects to mention that water vapor is a major
greenhouse gas and that water vapor constitutes 95% of the greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere. That makes water vapor (which comes mostly
from the oceans) THE most important greenhouse gas because of its
overwhelming presence.

The "primer" also neglects to mention that the oceans absorb / release a
great deal of atmospheric CO2 as their temperatures change, complicating
any simple-minded attempt to relate atmospheric CO2 to human production
of CO2.

As the debate continues in the public realm, the average person is going
to realize that the alarmists aren't making much scientific sense at
all. That will be a good thing and may save all of us from needless and
damaging public policy.
