For those of you who haven't read my previous post on how Global Warming is contributing to wetter air, allow me to fill you in.
Air that is warmer is capable of containing more water. By 2100, humidity worldwide may have increased by between 12 and 24 percent. Even the tiniest amount of greenhouse gas helps keep temperatures rising, and every time they go up 1 degree Celsius, the air can hold between 6 and 7 percent more moisture, overall.
What it comes down to is this: The hotter it is, the more humid it will be. The more water that's tied up in humid air, the less there'll be on the ground, to be used for plants, bathing, and drinking.
Can you imagine a world with dried oceans but nonstop rain? Hot rain. Scary.
