The water thing is also something people don't tend to talk about with global warming. Water isn't usually considered to have a significant global warming potential since its concentration isn't really affected by humans. It does however contribute up to potentially 2/3 of the entire greenhouse effect. Of course increasing temperatures increases the amount of water vapor in the air, which has a positive feedback effect.

Granted water can be fairly complicated since the albedo of clouds can help to reduce the amount of incoming solar radiation.
