Every time fossil fuel burning releases CO2, it releases even more H2O (by molecule count, if not by weight).

The CO2 is being reprocessed back to carbon and oxygen by all the photosynthetic organisms in the biosphere but the water just stays water.

That means that we have not only global wetting, but the binding of oxygen into a terminal form. We should be making water and binding oxygen even faster than we are increasing CO2 concentration.

Do the climatology models predict steady wettening and oxygen depletion?

I examined the carbon-cycle website provided and read carefully the answers so far

the fact that plants use water, has nothing to do with the number of molecules of water on the earth

we make water when we burn fossil fuels

WHAT UNMAKES WATER?

... You enviormentalists can be really freaky at times, where the heck do you come up with these ideas? C02 is nessecary for life, because the plants take it in. Real scientists laugh at this question.

You're forgetting that the same processes of biological binding of CO2 also utilize water as a part of the life cycle -- so if more plants grow as a result of rising CO2 levels, they also require more water to live and grow. So really, no more water is available in the atmosphere or as precipitation than before, and oxygen (by this model) would actually go up, because of more plant life taking in CO2 and releasing oxygen as it incorporates the carbon into its cellular structure.

You are missing part of the Carbon -Oxygen Cycle.
