Im still not sure that everyone understands that CO2, even with positive feedbacks added, cant trap any heat in the atmosphere directly, as witnessed by it cooling down by 10-20 degrees (or more in certain areas) easily every night. The only significant place energy could be trapped is the ocean, hence why Argo is it for longer term temperature trends, and why El Nino/La Nina influence things so much. I assume when people have blamed a recent hot (or cold) spell on Global Warming they have measured the sea surface temperature nearby to explain why
Im from the UK where the sea is obviously a very important factor in our weather, I do always wonder what explanation people come up with to relate say, hot (or cold) temperatures in Alice Springs to CO2 as I cant see how it could influence anything without warming the entire ocean by a lot all around Australia.
Fuel cells make water vapor, and the owners of the oil and gas business are heavily invested in minerals necessary to make catalysts.
