These low - wattage rods help to eliminate humidity by slightly increasing the temperature of the air inside of your safe.
When researchers ran the numbers for the Corn Belt, the global models fell short of reality: They predicted both temperature and humidity to increase slightly, and rainfall to increase by up to 4 % — none of which matches the observed changes.
And come to think of it, why would we even expect clouds to increase, given that relative humidity is actually declining slightly over land, and staying constant over the oceans (as AR4 informs us?)

A slight change of ocean temperature (after a delay caused by the high specific heat of water, the annual mixing of thermocline waters with deeper waters in storms) ensures that rising CO2 reduces infrared absorbing H2O vapour while slightly increasing cloud cover (thus Earth's albedo), as evidenced by the fact that the NOAA data from 1948 - 2008 shows a fall in global humidity (not the positive feedback rise presumed by NASA's models!)
The relative humidity suggests as well that the OLR from the water vapour in the spectral regions where figure 6 - A shows high optical thickness has been slowly increasing, as the source of radiation to the cosmos moved to slightly «lower and warmer» layers.
Is this point only about the radiative characteristics of the H2O vapour, and the assumption that relative and / or specific humidity should rise thanks to CO2 - induced increased evaporation, which in turn would increase downwelling heat radiation — or just the part that slightly hotter surface (due to CO2) also emits more heat to be trapped by the vater vapour?
Current observations are, I believe, consistent with these principles, in that as the climate has warmed, atmospheric water has increased, but continues to play «catch up» in that relative humidity has tended to decline slightly.
