What a water canopy the magnitude that Daystar speaks of would do is reflect a lot of the sunlight needed to warm the planet back into space, causing the entire globe to stay in a permanent ice age.
I forgot that you guys think you know everything. Indeed it would! The light and heat rays from the sun would be diffused by the vapor canopy, while preventing heat from escaping. Such a "greenhouse effect" would thus produce a milder, more uniform climate earth wide. Biologist Harold K. Blum explained: "Just as the warm glass of the greenhouse tends to raise the temperature of the interior, the water vapor tends to raise that of the earth's surface below it. This surface, or any object on it, is constantly exchanging radiation with the water vapor in the atmosphere, so the temperature of the surface is closely dependent upon the amount and temperature of this vapor."
