如果你把地球想象成一部引擎，把水蒸气从一处移动到另一处，那么它在更温暖的世界中的运行更加强劲。

他们的方法揭示出了这样一个事实：水蒸气会改变雷达波穿越空气时的速度。
Clouds are formations of condensed water vapour.
云是由凝聚的水蒸气构成的。
But the researchers argue that their process could be made continuous if carbon dioxide and water vapour could be passed through the nanotube film and the methane fuel collected from the other side.
但是研究者争辩说，如果把二氧化碳和水蒸气从纳米管薄膜端通入，在另一端收集甲烷燃料，整个处理过程可以变为连续性的。

Some employ distillation, which needs about 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy per cubic metre of seawater processed. Brine is heated, and the resulting water vapour is condensed.
一种方法是海水蒸馏，通过加热卤水可以得到浓缩的水蒸气，这种方法每淡化1立方米的海水需要10千瓦时的电量。

The energy is used to heat the brine, partially evaporating it, and to condense the resulting water vapour.
这些能量被用来加热盐水，使其局部蒸发，然后将所产生的水蒸气凝结下来。
The most important involve water vapour, which is now quite well understood, and clouds, which are not.
其中最重要的是我们有深度理解的水气反馈，以及我们不甚理解的云反馈。
Water vapour condenses to form thousands of tiny water droplets which scatter light.
水蒸气冷凝形成无数的小水滴，使光线发生散射。
A trivial one is to argue that because water vapour is such a powerful greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide is unimportant.
微不足道的包括，有人提出，因为水蒸气是一种效果显著的温室气体，所以二氧化碳就无足轻重了。
Without such a breakthrough, growing more crops inevitably means losing more water, since each extra plant transpires water vapour into the atmosphere during photosynthesis.
没有这个突破，种更多的粮食便不可避免地意味着失去更多的水，因为每一棵额外的作物在光合作用过程中都会将水蒸气带入空气当中。
Climate doubters raise various questions about water vapour, some trivial, some serious.
怀疑论者提出了一些有关水气的问题，有些无关紧要，而有些则较为严重。
At any rate, the cloud is not simply “water vapour”, as Larry Ellison, the boss of Oracle, a software giant, has deflatingly suggested.
无论如何，云绝不仅仅是“水蒸气”—软件巨头Oracle的首席执行官拉瑞诶里森（Larry Ellison）令人气馁地建议道。

That does not change the total amount of cloud (which is controlled by the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere). But having more, smaller droplets does increase a cloud's reflectivity.
