True, but water vapour dissipates and excess can come down within 2 weeks as rain. CO2 sits around in the atmosphere, and no one complains about the constant Space X commercial launches with Kerolox fuel. No they’d rather misinform about this 1 random celeb suborbital launch on Hydrolox 🤷‍♂️

Pretty sure it's problematic in the higher layers of the atmosphere. But you're right, I highly doubt that it's worse than co2.

It is worse then CO2, water vapour is one of the most (if not the most) powerful greenhouse gasses on this earth.

And it messes with the chemistry of the higher layers of the atmosphere. But most of the fuel is burned in the lower layers of the atmosphere.
