If the greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere and raise the air temperature, would the resulting higher air temperature increase or decrease the amount of evaporation from oceans? Would this increase or decrease in evaporation cause more or fewer clouds in the atmosphere?

To answer this question first we need to know What is Green House gas are
'Greenhouse gases' are critical to maintaining a proper temperature for life on our planet. Without the natural greenhouse effect, the heat released by the Earth would simply flow from the Earth's surface into space, resulting in an average temperature of roughly -20°C. Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone are the principal greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere.
How does green house effect work:-
Even in the dead of winter, a greenhouse keeps its inside warm. During the day, sunlight enters the greenhouse and heats the plants and air within. It becomes cooler outdoors at night, but the greenhouse keeps rather warm inside. This is because the greenhouse's glass walls capture the heat of the Sun. On Earth, the greenhouse effect operates in a similar manner. Gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat in the same way as a greenhouse's glass roof does. The gases that trap heat are known as greenhouse gases.
