   The Clausius-Clapeyron relationship has been a fundamental principle in   
   climate science, suggesting that with every 1°C rise in temperature,   
   atmospheric moisture should increase by about 7%.   
      
   Surprisingly, the research found that over dry and semi-arid regions, moisture   
   levels have remained constant or even declined, as observed in the   
   Southwestern United States.   
      
   "This is contrary to all climate model simulations in which it rises at a rate   
   close to theoretical expectations, even over dry regions," the authors wrote   
   in the new paper.

   You may note that water vapor is a "green house" gas and this lack in the rise   
   with rising temps is an issue with current climate projections.
