[Terrapreta] Anthropogenic casue for Global Warming

[Duane Pendergast]

Michael! I wonder how that alleged increase of water vapor was determined
and what the base case of comparison is? Is it an assumption of increased
evaporation from global warming? Warmer oceans? Inferred from some other
kind of measurement such as spectral evaluation of earth shine on the moon?
Actual averaged measurements of total amount of water vapor in the air at
weather stations  and comparison with the past? Anybody in the know? Is it a
big relative change?

I read a paper the other day that said the amount of water vapour in the air
had increased. As you would expect with all the dams we have built in the
last 70 years. Plus a lot more sweaty people and animals?.
.
It makes "air harvesting" of water in desert regions a real option

PS I didn't know the list could handle PDF attachments.
Can it Tom?

Hi Kevin,

The Greenhouse effect is necessary in some respects.
