So I've heard that there is a new sign of ecologically troubled times - brown clouds. Apparently they're smog drenched clouds. I don't remember all the details, but they are a problem over the Eastern hemisphere, I believe. Has anyone else heard about this? Do you remember more of the details?

I have never heard of this, but it sounds totally possible. Smog hangs like a brown mist over alot of our cities. I don't know why it can't form into clouds.

I have never seen this either and honestly I hope that I never do see it. I would think that this would happen if there is an abundance of pollution or smog.

I have not heard anything about this, smog is not a new thing, they had a lot of problems with smog in the 19th and early 20th century.

I have never heard of brown clouds but I am not surprised at the concept. It is possible that pollution could form into clouds, I suppose.

Does anyone have a link to further information on this? I have not read anything about it so far.
