The charcoal in soil also imparts properties to the soil which makes it a better growing medium for plants; better water holding capacity, better nutrient holding capacity, better habitat for benficial soil microorganisms, better tilth and friability of the soil, and better cation ion exchange capacity (CEC), all to make water and plant nutrients more available for growing plants.

It is quite different from the more familiar relative humidity, which is the amount of water vapor in air relative to the amount of water vapor the air is capable of holding.

As warmer air can hold more water vapor, which is also a greenhouse gas, this will amplify the effect.

This causes the atmosphere to hold more water vapor, which leads to heavier downpours.

I can certainly see that SOME CO2 level would do that, but everything I have read so far about Antarctic says that in a somewhat warmer climate, which we will have in Antarctica soon, Antarctic as a whole will get more snowfall, hence more retention of ice, because warmer air holds more water vapor, even if the increase in warmth is merely from minus 40 C to minus 35 C.

The notion of an H2O positive feedback (which probably is present on a clear day) is squashed by this process.While warmer air can hold exponentially more water vapor, presumably increasing greenhouse effects (an process the IPCC hangs its collective hat on), it is also this exact same property that vastly improves the chances of convective and phase change heat transport by thunderstorms.
