Abstract
Changes in average global temperature are not driven by changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide. Instead, autonomous changes in the concentration of water vapor drive changes in water vapor heating. When determined in accordance with Eqn. 3, the average accuracy is 99.86%, compared to the variable annual, 1880-2019, temperature record. Changes in the concentration of water vapor and changes in water vapor heating are not a feedback response to changes in the concentration of CO2. Rather, increases in water vapor heating and increases in the concentration of water vapor drive each other in an autonomous positive feedback loop. This feedback loop can be brought to a halt if the average global rate of precipitation can be brought into balance with the average global rate of evaporation and maintained there. The recent increases in average global temperature can be reversed, if average global precipitation can be increased sufficiently to slightly exceed the average rate of evaporation.

Until I attended the celebration of the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Al Gore in 2007 in Oslo for their work on global warming, I was convinced that global warming was the result of the continuing increase in atmospheric CO2

Autonomous changes in the average global concentration of water vapor resulting from differences in average global precipitation and evaporation drive changes in water vapor heating
