Trends in Atmospheric Water Vapour

Posted on January 25, 2013 by Clive Best

The basis of IPCC predictions is that any moderate warming caused by increased CO2 levels is enhanced by more evaporation from the oceans. Water vapour is itself a strong greenhouse gas and this increase results in a large “positive feedback” … Continue reading →

Evidence for Negative Water Feedback

Posted on May 23, 2012 by Clive Best

Abstract: Positive linear climate feedback for combined water effects is shown to be incompatible with the Faint Sun Paradox. In particular, feedback values of ~2.0 W/m2K-1 favored by current GCM models lead to non physical results at solar radiation levels … Continue reading →

Greenhouse effects of water and clouds

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Clive Best

In the previous post “Water World” a model was proposed  whereby a water covered planet can self regulate its temperature while solar radiation increases by a third. The parameters of this model assumed that the net climate feedback of the … Continue reading →
