Yes, water vapor is much better at being a greenhouse gas but we would need to be producing stupendous amounts of it as the atmosphere cools and dries out and we try to replace it.
Trouble is getting it back into the atmosphere in quantities large enough to make a difference.
I'm saying that putting that much CO2 in the atmosphere is pointless.
Trying to do it for water is beyond our capacity. Even if we used every one of my theoretical 100 nuclear plants to just boil off water 24/7, the atmosphere is too big. And the ocean is much much bigger.
We already have solved it. People live in frozen climates today. There are a few things to concentrate on, like making sure we have insulation on everything (cars, homes, etc) and then making sure we have electricity and gas/diesel. Food can be grown (probably lose out on beef and eat a lot more pork and chicken in the frozen places because of space) anywhere we build a building to clear the snow from the top soil.
Which is why I said to found the nuclear plants. So that we don't compete for electricity (e.g. by using oil and gas for electrical generation) when we drive our vehicles.
And even if we go to full snowball earth, it'll take us generations to get there, so we'll have the time to adapt.

We hosed when the earth says we are.
Not too sure any massive advancement in technology would be anywhere near enough to stop a planet-wide cooling event.
Most will starve long before we figure it out.
