This seems like a huge amount of water vapor being produced by those engines. When I look at the combustion process of typical jet fuel:

2C8H18 + 25O2 ~> 16CO2 + 18H2O

It makes me believe that with that much water vapor being pushed out the tail pipe of a jet it would seem like the CO2 levels in the air would be much higher than is observed. Can someone clear up this discrepancy for me?
