Another IPCC AR5 reviewer speaks out: no trend in global water vapor

WUWT
"The obvious concern to this reviewer, who has measured total column water vapor for 22.5 years, is the absence of any mention of the 2012 NVAP-M paper. This paper concludes, “Therefore, at this time, we can neither prove nor disprove a robust trend in the global water vapor data.” Non-specialist readers must be made aware of this finding and that it is at odds with some earlier papers."

    This dataset is just as long as the time the reviewer has measured water vapor: 22 years.

    Furthermore, The authors of the NVAP-M explicitly write that the NASA dataset is only suited to study seasonal and interannual (year to year) variability in water vapor.
