 July 0, 0000 at 0:00 PM  How absurd the notion that all IR photons have to induce evaporation. The notion assumes that the water molecules, having just gained energy from absorption of radiation, would then somehow choose to always evaporate instead of just warming up a fraction of a degree. This idea carries the assumption that energy loss is the net effect of energy gain. And really odd that the water molecules on my body when I'm covered with sweat and stand in front of an IR heater warm up instead of cool off. How do they know they're on me and not at the surface of the ocean?
