looks like the standard forcing/feedback mistake in your post

If I understand where you're heading, it's a variation of "water vapor is a much more important greenhouse gas, so doubling CO2 doesn't matter."

Water vapor is a feedback that changes as a result of CO2 forcing due to human activities. Read this:

You also said:

"CO2 pound for pound [or in terms of liquid or gas volume] is not a substance which is as effective greenhouse agent as H2O"

You didn't want to bet me on global warming - how about a bet as to the accuracy of that statement?
