John wants help finding the answers to this question.

"If we all start to drive Hydrogen powered cars, where will the H2O exhaust fumes go? Will H2O be the next greenhouse gas?"

It is already the principal greenhouse gas. Since gasoline and diesel are essentially ...(CH2)n..... chains of various lengths, about 60% of vehicle emissions is already H2O so it won't make much difference.
