Global warming theory
It is being observed that the earth’s atmosphere is warming up and it is speculated that carbon emissions are the cause. Since the atmosphere is getting warmer it will contain more moisture due to additional evaporation and warmer air holds more moisture than cold air. This should lead to an increase in clouds, which in turn would reflect more of the sun’s energy out into outer space, which in turn would cause the average temperature of the planet to drop.
Could it be this simple? Probably not. Weather systems are very complex and contain a lot of variables. Furthermore meteorologist run these things through supercomputers so one would think this would have been discovered already but I sure would like an expert opinion on this.
Even if this simple theory did pan out to be true it wouldn’t mean we were off the hook. Excessive moisture in the air may leads to more flooding and heavier snowfalls and may cause havoc on the world’s ecosystems.
