Water Vapor Feedback Loop Will Cause Accelerated Global Warming, Professor Warns
Description: A Texas A & M University professor specializing in climate research says that warming due to increases in greenhouse gases will lead to higher humidity in the atmosphere. Because water vapor itself is a greenhouse gas, this will cause additional warming. This process is known as water vapor feedback and is responsible for a significant portion of the warming predicted to occur over the next century. [Source: ScienceDaily]
