It looks like you're saying that the Earth is increasing emissions at the same time we are (independant of us). I need some context please.

Are you a mathematician?
I'm a math and physics major (not yet completed though, 3rd year) and an accountant to pay for schooling (so numbers turn me on). The math shows that there is more CO2 appearing in our enviroment than man is creating.

The entire water vapor arguement is one that is very complecated. Yes, water vapors are many many times more 'greenhousegassy' than CO2 or even CH4, but water vapor clumps together (in clouds) and so works like a really really thick blanket with holes in it. That is why no one can figure out how much the water vapors are effecting global climate change.
