- uptwolait, on 12/30/2007, -14/+230That's not a coal-fired power station. It's a nuclear power plant, and that is steam (water vapor, not pollution) rising from the cooling towers.
- samzklub, on 12/30/2007, -20/+183That's not a power station. It is 2 massive bongs. Pass it over here please.
- TheKrillr, on 12/30/2007, -1/+93i wonder what altitude this picture was taken at. Those must be awfully low clouds.
- inactive, on 12/30/2007, -2/+66so thats where clouds are born
- Angostura, on 12/30/2007, -3/+64Yes, but it is entirely irrelevant. No-one suggests that water vapor isn't the main greenhouse gas. However humans have approximately zero direct impact on the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere - it is a constant thanks to something you may have heard of called the water cycle. What *is* changing however is the global level of CO2, thanks to the billions of tonnes that we are pumping out.
Hope that helps. - Dylson, on 12/30/2007, -8/+67KLOWD MASHEEEEEEEEEEEENNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- FluentinSarcasm, on 12/30/2007, -0/+24Apparently something so complex it goes right over your head.
- Tophillious, on 12/30/2007, -2/+23When I was really young, I saw the smoke of a power plant rising in the air and told my mom, "Hey look, it's the could maker!" She burst out laughing...
Ah, good times, good times... - Dylson, on 12/30/2007, -0/+20Don't you worry about it.
- 0akley, on 12/30/2007, -7/+26It is coal, but you're right about the cooling towers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Grosskrotzenbur ...
- noisey, on 12/30/2007, -0/+19From German cloud factories?
- phantasyhero, on 12/30/2007, -0/+17Awfully thick fog.
- inactive, on 12/30/2007, -3/+18did you expect anything other than -50 diggs?
- isunktheship, on 12/30/2007, -2/+15over water vapor?
- trunkster, on 12/30/2007, -0/+13Come on people, it's a CLOUD factory!

- Iccarus, on 12/30/2007, -5/+15666th digg OMFG! dude im gonna cut my ***** off brb.
- elnerdo, on 12/30/2007, -1/+11Actually, it's just a really tall power plant.
- atdrago, on 12/30/2007, -7/+16i always wondered where clouds come from.
- osbjmg, on 12/30/2007, -1/+10I'm no scientist, but I see coal:

- inactive, on 12/30/2007, -4/+13No silly, they come from the cloud stork.
- Nerfdude, on 12/30/2007, -2/+10that's no moon.
- ChiRolla, on 12/30/2007, -0/+8+1
- Curlz31, on 12/30/2007, -6/+14Amazing......amazing.
- Wolf Blitzer - ChiRolla, on 12/30/2007, -0/+8That's weird... I'm on Firefox...
- Syric, on 12/30/2007, -0/+7When you don't understand something, it's usually because the other person's smarter than you, not the other way around.
- keneally, on 12/30/2007, -1/+8http://www.theonion.com/content/node/40315
- Fr0stbyte124, on 12/30/2007, -0/+7Yeah, those tiny photo servers like flickr are just asking to get overloaded.
- smittyfree, on 12/30/2007, -1/+8No. Because we aren't all idiots.
- chaosratt, on 12/30/2007, -0/+7Those are water cooling towers.
Doesn't matter if its Nuclear, Coal, or Oil power plant, they all make power the same way. By boiling water, you have to cool it off somehow before dumping it back into the environment.
As for those who claim the water vapor is worse than CO2, well then learn some basic science here. Get enough water vapor in the atmosphere and guess what. It falls down. We sometimes call it "rain". And this rain that came from the cooling towers is probably cleaner than anything else nearby, seeing as it just got boiled only a few min ago and had any contaminants removed.
As for the heating effect? Ok, so its more than CO2, however, I doubt the vapor will remain in the air for even 10% of the time the carbon and CO2 from the smoke stacks right next to it will. - trogdoor, on 12/30/2007, -3/+10This claim is based on what credible sources?
- bunit03057, on 12/30/2007, -1/+7So you don't really know how global warming works?
- OpenFuture, on 12/30/2007, -1/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Station_Staudin ... ??
- snarkleclackers, on 12/30/2007, -0/+5Dane Cook is like comedy for people who don't actually know how funny comedy can be.
- Mish48, on 12/30/2007, -0/+5The fact that you can remember that, is an attribute to how old you were when you thought clouds came from factories. Respect
- rykthia, on 12/30/2007, -6/+11Uh, sorry folks, that's actually only "Cloud Eight"
- ChiRolla, on 12/30/2007, -2/+7http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=sbfmp0hrc ...
- TKardinal, on 12/30/2007, -1/+6Who does it hurt?
- Doomsan, on 12/30/2007, -6/+11I'd work there.
- SuperSloth, on 12/30/2007, -0/+4"Hi I have no idea how a coal power plant works!"
- barkingfrog, on 12/30/2007, -0/+4Its a south park reference.
- inactive, on 12/30/2007, -0/+4I didn't.
- FeargusMcDuff, on 12/30/2007, -2/+6Shame on you people for digging this young infant down!
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+3Over the idiots that don't know crap about global warming (see: LebaneseWarrior)
- Munkey106, on 12/30/2007, -0/+3The "reply" button is pretty handy too ;)
- keneally, on 12/30/2007, -1/+4That strikes you as weird? A microsoft search engine? Yeah, that's kinda what they do.
- chewties, on 12/30/2007, -1/+4Hilariously related
