   Oddly enough, this is more or less correct. The most obvious effect of   
   the global warming that we have had so far is that  the ocean surfaces   
   are 1.5C warmer than they used to be, and the average vapour pressure of   
   water above the oceans is about 10% higher than it used to be. This all   
   condenses in the atmosphere and falls down again  as rain or snow -   
   about 10% more of it than we were getting around 1900, when global   
   warming got going.

   Wise investment.
