Plain old H 2 O: the most abundant and powerful greenhouse gas in the Earth’s atmosphere. Water vapour accounts for around half the present-day greenhouse effect and without it our planet would ...

Access to clean water is a huge issue across the globe. Even in areas with water resources, a lack of infrastructure or reliable energy means purifying that water is sometimes extremely difficult.

Water vapour absorbs radiation at many wavelengths, but it absorbs infrared and ultraviolet radiation – which are strongly emitted by the Sun – particularly well. The different energy transitions in ...

Only 2.5% of the Earth's global water supply is fresh water and supplies are shrinking with the unrelenting advance of climate change. Researchers say ocean water vapor may provide relief. Of all the ...

Water vapour is a key player in Earth's water cycle, transitioning between liquid water, solid ice, and gaseous form. [iStockphoto] In the complex dance of Earth's climate, water vapor takes centre ...

With regard to A. Frank Leo's question of why the effects of water vapor have not been considered in the discussion about global warming, I would suggest that it is because the amounts of water vapor ...

Vapor retarders play an important role in controlling water vapor flow and can be a major element in durable building enclosure design. (Note: Although there is some debate in the industry over ...
