How about that.
The element that most likely regulates the world’s temperature (allowing increases) may also allow decreases.
Who’da thunk it?
(All those who criticized climate models that do not allow for atmospheric moisture, since it is the least understood of climatic controllers, though recent evidence indicates that it also may be a very powerful temperature control.)
Yes. You’d think that with the record high temps of the last decade that there’d be MORE of that most major greenhouse gas, water vapor, in the atmosphere, even in the stratosphere. Quite a quandry!
Amazing scientific discovery, ain’t it?
I’m a science dope, but even I KNOW that water might have something to do with it.
Atmospheric moisture (water vapor) is 95% of the greenhouse gases. For the folks who still believe Karl Rove has a weather machine, he controls the sun beating down on the oceans of the world and pushing water vapor into the mix. Some of the ‘greenest’ technology yet developed produces no CO2, but lots of water vapor.
Turns out the earth is a self correcting system? Who wouldda thunk it?
