Higher global average temperatures means higher global average specific humidity. As the air warms it can hold more water vapour, which means less condensation.

Higher global average temperatures means higher global average specific humidity. As the air warms it can hold more water vapour, which means less condensation. I don’t know how much difference this makes, but I expect it’s not insignificant.

- vermilingua 3y agoTrue, but oceans only evaporate from the surface while the air retains moisture by volume. There is considerably more low, warm air than there is ocean surface.
