And as usual the headline photo chosen shows millions of tons of carbon
being injected into the atmosphere by cooling towers. Why would they
expect anyone to continue reading.

ROTFLMAO! Your ignorance is extraordinary, but not untypical, I fear.
Cooling towers don't emit CO2. What you see is 'steam', more correctly
an aerosol of fine water droplets, as in mist or clouds.

CO2 comes out of the chimney, the red and white striped structure in
the second picture, and a most of what's visible from that is also
'steam'.

I think he was being sarcastic...


So it was a 'whoosh' that went right past me. I hope you're right, and
apologies to Chris B if you are!

Sorry its a pet hate of mine. (Maybe I missed off an :-))

Ever since we were made to work out the temperature difference between
water entering a cooling tower and leaving it during my thermodynamics
lectures some what 40 years ago it seems that most news (both printed
and TV) story about atmospheric pollution is illustrated by cooling
towers "belching out pollution". They have been at it for at least 35
years.
