  1. The high specific heat makes water a temperature moderator.

    Evaporation cools, freezing halts a temperature drop.

    (Have you noted that dry deserts experience wider

    temperature swings during a day, then do wetlands?)

    We live in the temperature range that the liquid water in our

    eco-sphere helps to maintain.

    Evaporative cooling, (sweating) is our primary mechanism for

    rejecting waste heat.


  2. It is severely bad for your bodies if it touches our bodies or if our bodies are to close.  Some of the worst burns happen because of steam.  As for the environment boiling occurs naturally like in geysers and some hot parts of the ocean (hot-spots and lava flow)  That is a way water is recycled when it is boiled the steam is the distilled water going back into the atmosphere.  It is not exactly the best water to drink but it is good for the environment when minerals go back into it.
