The impact on atmospheric water vapor is a prime example. As the earth's surface heats (particularly ocean surfaces), the 1990 IPCC models predicted higher concentrations of atmospheric water vapor due to surface water evaporation. Because water vapor is also a natural greenhouse gas (because it has the effect of deflecting infrared heat back to the earth's surface), higher concentrations of atmospheric water vapor have a compounding effect on rising surface temperatures. ... The IPCC models assume that the ambient air temperature over the ocean is the same as the surface sea water t...
