There reportedly is an additional threat to the climate coming from inversion traces (modifies enough of Earth albedo?), so if we're delivering water to high altitudes, it's still not good.

Electrical motors would solve this; if we'd be able to avoid dispersing water from fuel cells up high, that could work.

LH2 has storage - and safety - issues still not solved. Toyota Mirai approaches it from a different angle, with some other shortcomings.

Burning kerosene also delivers water to high altitudes - the result is contrails.
