Increased water vapor will provide energy by latent heat release and somewhat compensate for the loss.

So a local spike in precipitation releases a lot of heat — but as the heat increases, this negatively affects the vapor - > water transition (precipitation, or raindrop formation), since warm air holds more water then cool air — and so the limit on precipitation vis - a-vis the radiative balance of the atmosphere appears.

Not so much by direct photolysis of water vapor (not generally a lot of that in the stratosphere), but from CH4, which could build up in a nearly oxygen - free atmosphere, and being largerly of biotic origin, with the H coming from photosynthesis (releasing O); O2 buildup itself was delayed because of geologic O2 sinks (in particular, the conversion of ferrous Fe (naturally present in the crust and mantle and which can dissolve in the oceans) to ferric Fe (precipitates out of the water, the source of banded - iron formations, which humans have used to get Fe).

Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any warming (aside from greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a warming due to an increase in the greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if positive, clouds, though regional changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight in the winter would not be so delayed).

This means that every 2 degree potential rise in temperature of the surface layer causes an 8 fold rise in the amount of water vapor release hence buckets more clouds and massive albedo reflection keeping the temperature from riding.
