Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, John Hopkins University and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center found evidence of a negative feedback loop for global warming in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Rising ocean temperatures have led to increased evaporation into the atmosphere. Water's high heat capacity makes water vapor one of the most influential greenhouse gases,...
