Let’s see what NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory says about air and water.
“Hot air expands, and rises; cooled air contracts – gets denser – and goes down; and the ability of the air to hold water depends on its temperature. A given volume of air at 20°C (equivalent 68°F) can hold twice the amount of water vapor than at 10°C (equivalent 50°F)”.
“Water is an enormously efficient heat-sink. Solar heat absorbed by bodies of water during the day, or in the summer, is released at night, or in winter.”

- scientists are monitoring and updating their models;
- media is reporting and advocating;
- Governments are already acting.
