It's Not Just the Heat, It's the Humidity

Still not afraid of global warming? Then listen to this: it's not only going to cause droughts, but also high humidity:
Humidity worldwide has risen 2.2 percent the past 30 years, and the only explanation is global warming from the burning of fossil fuels.
Of course. The War in Iraq has nothing to do with humidity, so that narrows it right down.
Nathan Gillett of the University of East Anglia got himself published in Nature by raising this latest alarm. He says he can't get the numbers to add up in his computer simulations regarding humidity, so fossil fuels must be to blame.
The study concluded that humidity levels are higher in the eastern USA. As for other places, the results are less clear. The study didn't include a measurement of humidity over the oceans that cover most of the planet.
Humidity is a problem because water vapor is among the greenhouse gases that allegedly menace us. No wonder San Francisco has been trying to ban bottled water. Look for Shrillary to propose a tax on H2O.

Sometimes you can see the deadly greenhouse gas known as water vapor hanging right in the air. |
