Unlike the enduring half-life of radioactive materials whose toxicity lasts for thousands of years, evanescent clouds in the sky are the embodiment of impermanence and ephemerality. The proliferation of anthropogenic clouds such as airplane contrails, nuclear mushroom clouds, and factory smoke in the atmosphere has been integral to the history of human-induced climate change. They…
