1. with higher CO2, trees and forests evaporate less moisture into the air, so fewer clouds are formed. “And rather than [joining with the usually abundant clouds and] raining over the forest, water vapor from the Oceans blows across to the mountain range, where it comes down as rain on the mountain slopes, with limited benefit to the rainforest in the basin.”

   small structures on the underside of leaves that open and shut in order for plants to take in the CO2 they need to grow – and that also release water vapor.

   
   When more CO2 is present, these orifices do not open as widely, which reduces the amount of water evaporated into the atmosphere. According to the researchers, this small process at the plant level, multiplied across the rainforest, will cause changes in the atmosphere, affecting the way winds blow and the flow of moisture coming from the ocean.

2. Cooperation is essential to manage the current climate crisis. Global scientific

   diplomacy is a growing field that is crucial to better understanding and strengthening the links between science, technology and international affairs to meet national and global challenges. Scientific diplomacy with an emphasis on water diplomacy and environmental diplomacy to control water, energy and climate change crises is a way of understanding between developed and developing countries.
