Between heaven and earth – about the rising tides

Date:

Global warming is increasingly leading to floods – at least that is what we often read and hear. However, the situation is a little more complex, as a look at history shows. Science expert Christian Mähr from ‘Krone’ conducted research.

At first glance, the matter seems perfectly clear: as it gets warmer, the water vapor content in the air increases. The air becomes more humid. So it’s raining more, right? But be careful, because it’s not that simple! The water vapor in the air is a gas, transparent and colorless. The white plumes protruding above the spaghetti cooking pot are no longer water vapor, but consist of visible water droplets and are therefore water again. How does it happen so quickly after a few centimeters? Because the air above the boiling water has already cooled enough for the water vapor to condense. So we learn: before clouds and rain form, the atmosphere must cool. It cannot rain without partial and temporary cooling. The temperature distribution must be sufficiently uneven over the entire Earth, otherwise there will be no heavy rains and floods.
