Actually when water vapor condenses to form rain it releases a large amount of heat to the surrounding air. That is why it is warm at night in the tropics and cold in the desert. The latent heat of condensation is about 539 calories per gram.

But doesn't the water release the very heat that vaporized it to begin with.
And then doesn't the water rain down purely (as opposed to salt water) to the earth.

so it’s not the GW that will get us, but the fat content of the condensation ?
