Wait, doesn't that mean less greenhouse effect?

Water vapor in the atmosphere is complicated. At some altitudes, it causes atmospheric warming, at others, it increases albedo -- reflectivity -- and thus is cooling. Of course wrt to anthropogenic climate change the focus is usually on CO2; but man made water vapor emissions are relevant eg. in the context of air travel.
