...Greenhouse Gas that faciliates the movement of heat and weather. However, as an ancillary Greenhouse Gas it is not a gas that needs regulation, UNLESS, it is manifesting in 'lesser than normal' amounts. As a drought, water vapor is very valuable. In the case of 'less' than is needed, it should be 'recorded' and reported in 'profound seriousness' to the government.
