If temperatures continue to rise, there will be more evaporation from the oceans and other water bodies, transferring more water vapour into the atmosphere. Since water vapour is a greenhouse gas, this would constitute positive feedback that could amplify the greenhouse effect. In addition, increased atmospheric water vapour could increase cloudiness, which could reflect more incoming solar radiation back into space; but, this effect would depend on the type of clouds and on their height.
