@metal-brain saidAre you just writing random talking points now? How is it a hypothesis if you can't design an experiment?
Water vapor is the main greenhouse gas.

Water vapor is the main greenhouse gas.
@sonhouse saidThe problem is he will either just refuse to read it or just baselessly dismiss it if he does. He isn't interested in facts.

@metal-brain saidyour weblink isn't a science one. it shows some comments by Alan Siddons, who is a layperson and not a scientist, and he just shouts out the usual hateful anti-climate-science BS.
"...water vapor is the largest contributor to the Earth’s greenhouse effect...However, water vapor does not control the Earth’s temperature, but is instead controlled by the temperature..."
Water vapor controls the earth's temperatures. Water vapor is also clouds and clouds reflect light to some extent. This is an example of a negative feedback effect. This helps to r ...[text shortened]...
The author is wrong.

@humy saidSo you cannot prove it wrong. Not surprising.
your weblink isn't a science one. it shows some comments by Alan Siddons, who is a layperson and not a scientist, and he just shouts out the usual hateful anti-climate-science BS.
He states the known facts about latent heat transfer via evaporation and then later condensation of water, which NOBODY denies, and pretends that somehow shows water vapor isn't a greenhouse gas and h ...[text shortened]... do with latent heat transfer via evaporation and then later condensation of water? Answer; nothing.
@sonhouse saidWhat dude?
@Metal-Brain
This dude also claimed there are galaxies receding faster than the speed of light which has been totally proven false. That alone puts this dude into fringe territory.
Inflationary theory says due to the expansion of the whole universe the stuff very far away has to be going faster than the speed of light. This could very well be true but that dude says we SE ...[text shortened]... Hubbard, Dianetics, the basis for the BULLSHTYE religion of scientology. As just one putrid example.
@sonhouse saidOkay. You are on the right thread now. What was the specific claim you had saying Cao was wrong about? What were his exact quotes and why was he wrong about those specific quotes?
@Metal-Brain
Did you forget to take your alzheimers meds? YOU are the one posted Cao's stupid video.
Who else did you think I was talking about?
@sonhouse saidWhy do you insist that a mass-less wave is a particle? If I throw a rock into a pond can you hold the wave it makes in your hand? Is it a tangible particle?
@Metal-Brain
I already posted that twice, the latest one in 'question about photons'.
And why is it you are attracted to lunatic fringe dudes like Cao in the first place rather than reading about REAL scientists like Hawking, Feynman and the like? Or some of the science series like David Attenborough or Carl Sagan, Cosmos? Why do you continue to find these idiots who think they are changing the world?
@metal-brain saidExplain Compton scattering if light is not a particle.
Why do you insist that a mass-less wave is a particle? If I throw a rock into a pond can you hold the wave it makes in your hand? Is it a tangible particle?
So you claim nothing is a particle. Is the ripple in a pond a particle? Nope.
@metal-brain saidWhy do you insist on such staw mans? Nobody I know of insists all massless waves are particles.
Why do you insist that a mass-less wave is a particle?
@deepthought saidAsk the electron.
Explain Compton scattering if light is not a particle.
