The greenhouse effect leads to global warming (increase in atmospheric temperature). Warmer air has a higher capacity to hold water vapour. Therefore, as the atmosphere warms due to the greenhouse effect, the amount of water vapour (humidity) in the atmosphere tends to increase globally, creating a positive feedback loop as water vapour is also a greenhouse gas.
