What are the three physical states of water? You only mentioned two.

Yeah, because you were talking about transpiring plants and water vapour. The presence of ice crystals or water droplets won't change the capacity of air to hold the vapour you durpy fool. That fraction is fixed as a dependency on temperature and pressure. Unless of course you're growing plants at the point where all three phases can exist together. That's dubious, even for you.

Jeez you're Durpy.

You think water vapour can drive temperature change...it's the other way around. After Mount Pinatubo erupted the atmosphere cooled, and when it cooled the water vapour decreased in the entire column of the troposphere.

Do you ever get tired of failing?

Won't water vapour freeze in the upper atmosphere Ton?

Sure, but ice crystals aren't water vapour. Ice crystals aren't a greenhouse gas. At the temperatures where you get ice crystals, there is very little water vapour left to trap the long-wave radiation. It's a complete red herring for someone who was mentioning irrigated farm land and water vapour as a forcing rather than a feedback.

In fact, the farther up you go, the lower the trend for warming is, because the heat is trapped in the lower part of the atmosphere.

Ok.

Does the presence of ice crystals have an affect on the models used? Or on anything of note?

What models? It doesn't help Petey's model...:lol: Water as vapour is the only phase that is a greenhouse gas, it matters not if the rest of the water is liquid or ice, the fraction as vapour (which I said in earlier posts) remains fixed dependent on the pressure and temperature. Ice crystal or rain drop, it doesn't matter. The atmosphere will only hold so much water vapour as the phase diagram makes clear, which is the entire point of contention with Petros saying that water vapour can be the driver of temperature.

Sharpest Measurement Of Ice Crystals In Clouds Ever Will Help In Climate Modeling

Incomplete theories are awesome!

Irrigation isn't a source of non-CO2 driven water vapour?

Yes, that what's you have. You're missing premises all over the place. It's not controversial to say clouds trap and reflect energy. It's not controversial to say irrigation will provide more water vapour. But you're jumping the shark with causality. When the global temperature dropped after Mount Pinatubo, the water vapour responded immediately:

There definitely was irrigated farm land when Pinatubo erupted. The temperature modulated how much vapour will persist, and it changed the cloud cover as well.

So Levant was wrong.

Big deal. Give the guy a break already.
Look, I understand that you only parrot the science, and research of others. Without any understanding of the science at all.

So why don't you step out of the shill troll box and learn.

Hell you can even join in the conversation. If you're at all capable of being an honest participant.
