Your talking about moisture in air getting cold.

We're talking about the big energy sink - the ocean.

I mean, not only are you obsessive ... you think air is a thick as
water.

Hey?

There is only one thing around here that is thick!

Science 101 mate. Science 101. Robust science. When it come to science
you have plenty to learn.

Don't get me wrong. Please don't get me wrong.

But you do understand the concept of latent heat and state and density
don't you?
