Ship emissions can actually form clouds
- "Emissions from ships contain several chemicals, including sulphate aerosols – small particles of sulphur and oxygen. The aerosols can act as ‘seeds’ around which water droplets accumulate, causing changes in cloud properties that are visible to satellites. This means that ships can change clouds, leaving lines – known as ship tracks – in the clouds behind them as they sail." - Excerpt from Imperial College London
