The even more annoying fact is that the whole global warming crisis is BECAUSE of that thermodynamic effect. With increased CO2 alone, if we emit as much as we could, would only warm the Earth 1C at the most. CO2 has a narrow band of light that is obstructs, and once that is filled, there no more heat it can trap. The scientists believe that global warming will be as high as it will because of the positive feedback loop a little warming from CO2 causes with water vapor(which is a more potent greenhouse gas): you heat up 1C, which means more water evaporates, which means more heat trapped, which means more water evaporates etc.
If it wasn't for more water in the atmosphere, just CO2 warming, there would be no Global Warming crisis, it would be just a blip. And still, somehow people widely believe we'll overall be in desert-like conditions?
