To change phase, H2O molecules need energy to break bonds and escape from the liquid

Hotter means more water vapor in atmosphere

This cloud has only few cloud droplets, hence, reflects less sunlight (darker cloud).
This cloud has more cloud droplets, hence, reflects more sunlight (lighter cloud).

Low Clouds
Very thick water clouds reflect large amounts of sunlight
Very near the surface, temperature of the cloud effectively the same as surface. Infrared radiation is therefore about the same - almost like the cloud wasn’t there!
NET EFFECT: Cooling

High CloudsThin, cold ice clouds reflect less sunlight
Extremely cold, emits infrared at colder temperatures, prevents warmer surface infrared from escaping to space
NET EFFECT: Warming

• Elevated CO2 stimulates photosynthesis
• Trees grow faster in elevated CO2 and are bigger at the end of the experiment
• N concentrations are reduced• No large changes in structure• Stomatal conductance often is
lower
We know how trees respond to elevated CO2
[CO2]Photosynthesis
There is a wealth of data from many CO2 enrichment studies demonstrating physiological responses of seedlings and young trees
