Pine trees make their own clouds

pedigree 6

As above research by teams at CERN Switzerland in a project named CLOUD have found that pine trees produce vapours that can form into aerosols that can combine with cosmic rays to form clouds.
Cosmic rays can hit the earth when the sun's solar wind is slack.

Anyway here's the research.

Funnily enough, the same conclusion could have been reached by the age-old method of simply looking at a pine forest. Either dawn or dusk. Happens every day.

Ever since I was a child in Somerset we always called the rising spirals of vapour 'Forest Sprites'. They are the souls of fairies who have reached the ends of their short lives. They join together for one last dance before going to the great Sky Fairy.

According to my Great Grandad anyway and he was a great countryman!
