Atmosphere Humidity: NOAA Scientists Determine Reality Is Opposite Of Climate Models' Prediction

The atmospheric humidity levels that NOAA researchers publish continue to trend lower than climate model predictions - however, the mythical runaway global warming that catastrophic global warming (CAGW) alarmists promulgate requires atmospheric humidity to increase

The IPCC's CAGW hypothesis necessitates that troposphere humidity increases as levels of atmospheric CO2 increase. Simply stated (this is not rocket science):

     *First CO2 levels increase, thus
       *Atmospheric warming increases, thus
       *Earth's surface warms, thus
       *Earth surface water evaporates, thus
       *Atmosphere humidity increases, thus
       *Atmosphere water vapor increases (i.e. greenhouse gas), thus
       *Atmosphere warms further, thus
       *Earth's surface warms even more, thus
       *More Earth's water evaporates into atmosphere, thus
       *A positive feedback loop established, and continues

For the above climate "tipping point" to initiate, the atmosphere humidity has to absolutely increase, which the above chart of empirical evidence reveals it has not.

In fact, as seen, the atmospheric humidity is decreasing over time while CO2 levels increase - the exact opposite of all climate model and "consensus" expert predictions.

And, as noted before, atmospheric temperatures remain flat to slightly cooling over the last 15 years despite the large increase in CO2 levels - again, the exact opposite of model predictions.
