Hidden mysteries in Humidity -
For years now, the press have kept control about what is said about climate; about how it works and how and why it changes ,Unfortunately for the fear prone public who feed on this endangered species, the fact that the press wouldn't know how it works , is clouded by the fact that many things about the gases and fluid dynamics around us , just simply can't be seen.
We post moderns FEEL things rather than think things through. We are prone to think in a superficial way about all the facts that crowd and cloud our days..We feel temperature, but we can't see humidity.

Take a simple reality like humidity.
Compare it to temperature, which we can all feel; minute by minute and day by day.
We all felt the temperature this summer , but we missed seeing the water in the air .
Even though 80 % of the world’s surface is covered by it in a form that we can see , we often don’t see it hovering over our dry land . The sun and spin quietly move it into higher and lower positions on the earth . We don’t easily see that the air is fairly full of water , most of the time . It only takes a little push and the wonderful medicine will drop right out
We didn't see the water in late 2019, when some felt “ the hottest and driest summer ever”. We missed seeing the substantial fact that it was smoky at the same time as the bushfires were on .
We were , as a country , running on our feelings, not sound science. The reason it was smoky is because high humidity limits combustion . It wasn’t as dry and dangerous as we felt it was. Despite all the feelings about it , the earth does not warm just because we burn fossil fuels . The higher humidity from combustion actually helps cloud out the sun’s daily warming effect .
We didn't see the water in the air this February either. Our newly wetted land couldn't shake the rain and the clouds because it kept rising up to fall all over again.

When I look at my still green tomatoes and wish the sun would come through and do its wonderful work again, I also think of the wonder of those simple three amigos C N and O ( Carbon Nitrogen and Oxygen ) and their not so simple friend the Proton .
Someone very smart made H and O to work together so well that it absorbs heat as a liquid and yet, as a gas, it universally lets the heat and the light through.
More on our failed education system . Instead of building understanding post moderns risk breaking it down with cynicism
