Higher temperatures cause
more evaporation from the oceans; water vapour is a strong greenhouse gas;
There is growing evidence that this has already occurred31 through

However there would then be more conduction, convection and on Earth
more evaporation from the surface for an increased upward energy flow which would work to maintain the lapse rate set by sun and pressure.
The primary driver of Earth's hydrological cycle is
more evaporation from a warming planet and warming seas (which climate engineering is making worse overall, not better).
And once wide swaths of tree are cut, large land areas lose their shade cover, resulting in

Alarmists have drawn some support for increased claims of tropical storminess
from a casual claim by Sir John Houghton of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that a warmer world would have
more evaporation, with latent heat providing
more energy for disturbances.
Only about 40 % of the water reaches the crops, while
evaporation in the hot sun takes
more than two metres of water a year
from the reservoirs - a total of around 300m cubic metres
from Elephant Butte alone.
Increased temperature leads to increased
evaporation from the sea, and thus to higher absolute humidity (assuming fixed relative humidity), and since H2O molecules are even
more effective infrared absorbers than CO 2 molecules, the warming trend is reinforced.

evaporation from dam reservoirs.
«Century of Data Shows Intensification of Water Cycle but No Increase in Storms or Floods Released: 3/15/2006 12:13:21 PM» (excerpt) A review of the findings
from more than 100 peer - reviewed studies shows that although many aspects of the global water cycle have intensified, including precipitation and
evaporation, this trend has not consistently resulted in an increase in the frequency or intensity of tropical storms or floods over the past century.
Duration could vary: a
more intense storm may peter out
more quickly by having used up the available energy in the immediate vicinity (
from convergence in the atmosphere as air spirals in, to surface moisture
from evaporation in the strong winds) unless it moves into a new environment.
(I think that an anomalously warm ocean surface heated
from below would lead to
more evaporation, and the additional water vapor would give a positive greenhouse effect that would partially offset the effect of a drop in greenhouse gas concentrations.)
«Even if an area remains wet doesn't mean that it will be protected
from the other aspects of climate change: rising and far
more erratic air temperatures, higher rates of
evaporation (evapotranspiration), and the rising concentration of CO2,» he said in an e-mail message.
The kinetic energy
from the falling rain that occurs after condensation then feeds the circular winds that in turn draw
more heat
from evaporation etc. so as to form a positive feedback loop.
More water by Danube to replenish the deficit
from evaporation in Mediterranean > gulf stream slows.
Also, what are the energy budget implications of the increased
evaporation from more open ocean?
Water levels are influenced by the amount of
evaporation from decreased ice cover and warmer air temperatures, by evapotranspiration
from warmer air temperatures, and by potential increases in inflow
from more precipitation.
Evaporation is known to be on the order of 70 w / m2, while average downwelling longwave radiation is more than four times that amount... and some of the evaporation is surely coming from the heating from the vis

The second clue is that Northern Hemisphere glaciation intensified between 3.1 and 2.5 million years ago, thanks to all the moisture delivered to the far north via
evaporation from a
more vigorous Gulf Stream.
«You have
more evaporation,
more energy,
more heat and that's driving
more moisture
from the tropics which is where these atmospheric rivers originate,» Lynn Ingram, a professor of Earth and Planetary Science at the University of California, Berkeley, told IBT.
Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface
evaporation and loss of water
from plants lead to
more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat
from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6
The process of
evaporation also requires energy
from heat, and the warmer the temperatures are in the upper ocean and at the ocean surface, the
more energy is available.
In that surface warming causes
more evaporation; which produces
more atmospheric warming and ultimately
more clouds; which block sun
from the surface; which produces
more cooling.
Open water emits
more infra - red energy to space and
evaporation of surface water in the windy Arctic region will remove substantial amounts of heat
from the surface.
The lack of» water vapor» is, because: it was
more water in Arctic ocean without ice cover as» insulation» - > water absorbed extra coldness and the currents brought extra coldness in North Atlantic = above the ocean is colder = less
evaporation - > less water vapor produced - > less moisture going west
from central Atlantic.
This is a logical result of the fact that a warmer Earth will have increased
evaporation from the oceans, and thus
more moisture will be available for precipitation.
Although the Middle East is not currently rebounding
from an ice age, the scientists say those ancient rebounds have things in common with the way the climate is changing today: Rainfall is decreasing and higher temperatures are causing
more evaporation that is drying up the land.
Note 1: A simple hotspot explanation summarized
from this article: Increasing CO2 levels causes atmosphere to warm; then atmosphere causes Earth's surface to warm; warming of oceans cause
evaporation; increased
evaporation leads to
more water vapor in the upper troposphere; water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas that warms the atmosphere even
more (positive water vapor feedback); the Earth's surface warms even
more; and then auto «repeat and rinse» until Earth's oceans boil, per an «expert.»
He had already been warned on this thread that when I had earlier answered a legitimate question
from a commenter far
more polite and sensible than he, I had replied with a straightforward account of how Professor Lindzen, in a talk that he had given under my chairmanship at the Houses of Parliament, had calculated that if the increase in
evaporation from the Earth's surface with warming was thrice that which the models predicted then climate sensitivity was one - third of that which the models predicted.
They thought the increased
evaporation from CO2 would make things even warmer since water vapor is a
more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2.
You claim such a justification
from the coincidence that the 1 % to 3 % increase in
evaporation seen across the models yields a range of climate sensitivities
more or less in line with the IPCC range.
(right) With the transition
from dimming to brightening (1980s — 2000s), the enhanced greenhouse effect has no longer been masked, causing
more rapid warming, stronger
evaporation / LH, and an intensification of the water cycle.
The geochemist Wallace Broecker, to whom we owe a number of the important ideas about abrupt climate change, speculates that there is a chain of causation starting with
more far - northern winter sea ice and (because of the ice preventing the winds
from stirring up waves and
evaporation and salt excess) thereby fewer sinks for the Gulf Stream, which in turn diminishes the big conveyor loop of currents linking the North Atlantic to the Pacific.
Remember that fresh water freezes
more easily than the ocean's usual salt water, so if downwelling fails locally, a puddle of fresher water may form
from the rains or floods — and it will freeze
more easily, preventing the winds
from doing their
evaporation job that might restart the downwelling.
But, if the atmosphere in the polar regions warms there will be
more evaporation and thus a postive feedback
from greenhouse effect of increased water vapor.
The claim that this is
from the extra «back radiation»
from more CO2 is the scientific equivalent of bollocks because IR causes
more evaporation, not temperature rise.
