The water vapor effect is quite complicated cause you have to calculate cloud formation. There have been 4 Atlantic Cat-5 Hurricanes since Katrina, see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Category_5_Atlantic_hurricanes and CO2 heat trapping may be inversely exponential, but you're ignoring feedback mechanisms. Saying we've "eaten the worst bit" is ignorant. Climate is more than just a logarithmic estimate. Also, there are numerous links available on the warming oceans. | |
