Relative humidity is the fraction of water vapour in a small parcel of air relative to the total amount of water vapour the air could
contain at the given temperature and pressure.

The researchers
gave 19 people a total of 32 solutions which
contained different amounts of capsaicin and sucrose
at either body
temperature or room
temperature.
But there's a lot of it — 10,000 kg — and it radiates
at about 240 W / m ^ 2, and so
given all the thermal energy it
contains at a rough average for the column
at -18 C, then it simply doesn't drop much in
temperature in 12 hrs.
Still later (page 29) he
gives the also misleading example that adding even a large quantity of 5ºC water (which, since it is way above the absolute zero of -273 ºC
contains a great deal of thermal energy) to a bathtub of water that is
at 40ºC, will not raise its
temperature.
