51、 with the public.D.Victor Hugo liked including his family members in his drawings.DAndrew Dessler, a professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences who specializes in research on climate, says that warming due to increases in greenhouse gases will lead to higher humidity (湿度）in the atmosphere.

52、And because water vapor (水蒸气）itself is a greenhouse gas，this will cause additional warming. This process is known as water vapor feedback and is responsible for a significant part of the warming predicted to occur over the next century.“Its a cruel cycle-warmer temperatures mean higher humidity, whi

53、ch in turn leads to even more warming,” Dessler explains. The viewpoint by Dessler and co-author Steven Sherwood of the Climate Change Research Centre at the University of New South Wales is published in Science. In an article, they review and summarize the hard evidence in support of a strong water

54、 vapor feedback and conclude that the evidence supporting it is so powerful. “For years, there was a debate over this, with some even questioning if the water vapor feedback existed at all. But recent work on this feedback has moved its existence and strength beyond argument，”Dessler adds.Prediction

55、s of significant global warming over the next 100 years by climate models require a strong water vapor feedback. Its predicted that the earth will warm from 2 to 4 degrees over the next century-a situation that could have destructive long-term consequences. “Everything shows that theclimate models a

56、re probably getting the water vapor feedback right, which means that unless we reduce emissions (排放物），it is going to get much, much warmer on our planet by the end of the century,” he adds. Many scientists believe such warming rates are already happening. They can point to the summer of 2003，when a long-lasting heat wave affected Europe. More than 35,000
