The Water Vapour Feedback Loop

When the temperature is at a specific level of heat energy, water evaporates and becomes water vapour. While the temperature increases its warmth, the faster the process can happen. On hot days, you’ll often notice that the laundry dries quicker or the days are stickier in the summer. This occurs because warm air can hold lots of moisture. Water Vapour is one of Earth’s most powerful greenhouse gasses. Note that most of the water vapour originate from the ocean, and because of climate change, the days get warmer and warmer. As the temperature rises, more water evaporates, and because warm air can hold more moisture than cold air, more water vapour stays in the atmosphere. By doing this, it absorbs more of Earth’s heat, causing further warming. While the days get even warmer, the course continues to repeat.
