Water Vapor, H2Ov, is a far greater heat trapping gas than CO2. So the only thing we would be doing is changing one GHG for a worse GHG when using hydrogen as a power source.
ow right.. money... (fed up with humankind sometimes tbh time to grow up as a species find new values to do 'it' for)

I've stopped reading your posts long ago...largely because of the shear volume of hogwash you post.

Take this for example:
Nice try.
While water vapor does trap heat more efficiently than CO2, why do you omit the length of time CO2 stays in the atmosphere versus water vapor?

I still can’t decide if it is your objective to perpetuate ignorance or if you are just a victim of it….
Either way, most of the time your positions are mostly wrong.

And i have responded with dozens of other research which shows you are misrepresenting, exagerating, and even lying just because you want to agree with Mann and associates and want to blame mankind...
CO2 does not cause the warming people like yourself are trying to make the world believe it does.
You like to believe Mann and associates, even though they have lied in the past and have even tried to hide evidence of past Climate Change events, I rather believe the other data and research which says the contrary to every one of your claims.

Abstract
A meteorological model, the Regional Atmospheric Modelling System (RAMS), and a plant model, the General Energy and Mass Transfer Model (GEMTM), are coupled in this study. The integrated modelling system was used to investigate regional weather conditions in the central grasslands of the USA for three experimental scenarios:
Finally, the model results suggest that the 2 3 CO2 biological effect can dominate the overall effects on temperature. This must be interpreted in the context it was presented. This is a regional-scale sensitivity study. These results cannot be linearly scaled up to global scales.

David2012, and exactly how do you plan on feeding the billions of people on this planet which depend on oil to be fed, to be cured and even in order to be alive?...

I would suggest you start with a course in economics. If you have had one then you may need a review. We are talking about mankind here and 99.9% of us think in terms of some type of money. It's a historical thing!
myself
It still causes heaps of other problems like increased disease, decreased living space on this planet, semipermanent pollution which for some reason we think is okay to let our kids and grandkids deal with (nuclear waste), destruction of ecosystems, disruption of the foodchain we ourselves depend on.

So, we're back to attacking the integrity of Mann again, as if that adds anything to your position. Other proxy reconstructions show the same general trends as the original MHB 1998, Mann's work has also been widely accepted under review by major US scientific organisations.
Accumulation and 18O records for ice cores from Quelccaya ice cap. The period of the Little Ice Age stands out clearly as an interval of colder temperature (lower 18O) and higher accumulation. Such evidence demonstrates the Little Ice Age was a climatic episode of global significance. From World Data Center for Paleoclimatology (educational slide set).
A team of scientist from Austria and Germany located three stalagmites in the Spannagel Cave located around 2,500 m above sea level at the end of the Tux Valley in Tyrol (Austria) close to the Hintertux glacier. The temperature of the cave stays near freezing and the relative humidity in the cave is always at or near 100%. The stalagmites grew at a rate between 17 and 75 millionths of a meter per year and are nearly 10,000 years old.
...............
The stalagmite is screaming to us that many periods in the past 9,000 years were warmer than present-day conditions!
Climatic changes during the past 1300 years as deduced from the sediments of Lake Nakatsuna, central Japan
.......................
The sediment record from AD 900 to 1200 indicates hot summers and warm winters with less snow accumulation, whereas the record from AD 1200 to 1950 is characterized by high variation of temperature, with three cool phases from AD 1300 to 1470, 1700 to 1760, and 1850 to 1950. The warm period from AD 900 to 1200 corresponds well to the Medieval Warm Period, and the second and third cool phases are related to the Little Ice Age.
The five scientists determined that the mean temperature of the Medieval Warm Period in northwest Spain was 1.5°C warmer than it was over the 30 years leading up to the time of their study, and that the mean temperature of the Roman Warm Period was 2°C warmer. Even more impressive was their finding that several decadal-scale intervals during the Roman Warm Period were more than 2.5°C warmer than the 1968-98 period, while an interval in excess of 80 years during the Medieval Warm Period was more than 3°C warmer.

The Arctic shelf is currently undergoing dramatic thermal changes caused by the continued warming associated with Holocene sea level rise.

That is intellectual dishonesty. I have pointed out to you that you are misrepresenting a piece of research, and now you are just lying. You know you are wrong, yet you still spread this disinformation. Everytime you misrepresent this work, you are being dishonest.

Originally posted by David2012
Nature pollutes too, the difference is there is equilibrium, a balance. We aren't part of that balance anymore.
Originally posted by David2012
Yes water vapour can be a greenhouse gas but not when used within the natural balance and added to that CO2 lingers a lot longer in the atmosphere, as soon as water vapour rises high enough and cools it will rain down.

(In English 2 parts water become 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen, burning it again makes 2 parts water out of 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen.. the total sum of h2o on this planet remains the same)

That's as basic as logic can get :s no science required lol

I'm just trying to find clean energy.. sorry) would replace fossil fuel industry but it would need a large amount of workers just like the oil industry now.
Originally posted by David2012
And what are we supposed to do when oil runs out.. (Limited supply you know, takes millions of years to form) we need a replacement industry, preferably clean. We better start now instead of waiting till oil runs out.

You're post is pretty damn hostile against someone who is just trying to come up with idea's to change for the better and full of conclusions about e.g. myself for which you have no reason or evidence. And NOWHERE did I state changes like I'm thinking can or should be done overnight.

PS. Hydrogen energy can be an enclosed system with 0 output into the environment because of the nature of hydrogen creation and the burning of it. You can trap the exhaust (water) and use that same water again for the production of hydrogen.. it can and possibly should be a closed system.
Pollution does not cause Global Warming/Climate Change. Keep kidding yourself and others and making statements without one iota of proof that it is mankind that has caused Climate Change when even the current warming began 260 years before CO2 levels even began to increase.
If you feel so guilty, then leave the cities and move into any forest, hunting with your hands and rocks and living in a cave if you want.
The Earth is not a "small fridge" pepsi78...
BTW, if you have any new feasible fuel sources and can demonstrate that it works i am all ears. i can even put you in contact with some companies that experiment with alternative power sources...
So go ahead and make a presentation right here.
