Lesson Three: Emissions of Heat-trapping Gases

One of the most common misconceptions is that human-caused emissions of heat-trapping gases are insignificant because the majority of heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere is water vapor that is naturally occurring. It is true that on a sunny day water vapor is responsible for as much as 70% of the gr ...
