Description
In this National Geographic News article, read about research indicating that water vapor could be the culprit behind Europe's rapidly rising temperatures. According to a team of Swiss scientists, heat from other greenhouse gases is causing more water to evaporate, releasing the vapor into the atmosphere above Europe. That vapor in turn, adds to the greenhouse effect, further warming the region. Links to other stories, photos, videos and Web sites are also found on this page.
