LOL

Now that was a ridiculous statement!
Easily refuted ...

“ The most significant reason for evaporation is NOT heat, relative humidity or wind factors however -- it's photon intensity, i.e., sunlight intensity. Photons from direct sunlight are by far the largest cause of evaporation because only photons have enough energy to crack through the surface tension of water and cause evaporation.”

Only photons can cause evaporation?
You can’t be serious!
If I place a pan of water in my basement at STP and turn off all the lights, are you telling everyone here that the water in that pan won’t evaporate?
While I agree that H2O is not very volatile at STP, that pan of water will eventually evaporate!!!
