CO2 vs. Water vapor emissions: Is it any better in the long term?

by: daknovaThe current thinking is if we shift our energy needs from fossil fuels to hydrogen fuel we will eliminate the problem of global warming caused by CO2. The thought that strikes me is, If we shift to a hydrogen based energy will the water vapor created by hundreds of millions of cars and other fuel burning machines our modern society relies on cause an excessive amount of water vapor to be put into our atmosphere creating a larger problem due to the fact that water vapor has a more profound environmental impact in other ways such as increased rainfall over the planet.
The other thought I have is since we will be converting hydrogen into water on such a large scale, will this not eventually increase the total amount of liquid water on our planets surface, thereby raising ocean levels anyway? Should we be trying to emulate what nature does naturally by developing technologies which convert CO2 to usable energy thereby creating oxygen as a by-product. I would have to assume that since we are supposedly the smartest species on this planet that we could figure out how plants do this so efficiently and follow their lead.

    This won’t be a problem because we would take water, electrolyze it into hydrogen and oxygen, and use the hydrogen as fuel. The total amount of water on earth would not change. The main problem is that it is not energy efficient; the only efficient way to do it would be to have solar panels electrolyzing the water.
