When a cloud forms, condensation is occurring in the atmosphere. This process, converting water vapor to liquid acts to warm the atmosphere through the release of latent heat. Here's a brief explanation how.

Water vapor has higher energy than liquid water-I'd search the Internet if you'd like a more detailed explanation as to why that's true, it's not a one or two line explanation. Anyway, when the water vapor goes to liquid water, that excess energy has to go somewhere, and that somewhere is into the air. This released energy will warm the air, but not to a large to degree, but then again it's not insignificant. It depends on the situation as to whether this process is important or not.

Excellent question. When clouds form they warm the atmosphere. The reason - when water condenses to form the cloud it releases 600 cal per gm of water condensed. This energy is useful in the generation of storm clouds including tropical storms.

There are two releases of latent heat in the formation of large clouds. The first occurs as the water vapour condenses to form the water droplets and the second occurs higher in the cloud as the water droplets freeze to ice crystals or supercooled water freezes to hail. It is the release of latent heat that provides the fuel for a thunderstorm or for larger systems such as tropical cyclones or hurricanes.

you could't "settle for" the concept of climate substitute without accepting the concept of international warming. If we had climate substitute without ever having international warming, the Earth's surroundings might want to be at 0°ok and the elements might want to no longer exist. in case you're asking, "Do you compromise for the concept of climate substitute, yet no longer *Anthropogenic* international Warming?" My answer might want to be "quite often sure." The climate is continually replacing. it continually has and continually will. without perpetual climate substitute for the era of geologic historic past, we would want to haven't any sedimentary rocks. Anthropogenic activities do impression the technique of climate substitute. In some localities (i.e. cities) AGW is authentic and many times very reported. Deforestation and different land use differences truthfully impression the organic technique of climate substitute. Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions minimally contribute to the Earth's organic greenhouse result. Mankind's presence on earth alters the ecology of the Earth. it truly is no longer plausible for us to exist in a equipment without replacing that equipment. it truly is existence. The Enviromarxists favor to settle for that reality and go away the powerful portion of society the heck on my own.
