Pretty interesting article. Couldn’t of written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old friend. He always kept talking about this. I will send this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good chuckle. Thanks for sharing!

It's obviously taken at sunset. You can see how low the Sun is by the way the light is coming in from the side. Sunsets register orange- problem solved. No need to over-complicate things. Looks like water vapor. Everything is not a conspiracy- choose battles that matter.

To be clear up front, I don't in any way agree with with doctoring photos (especially journalistic photos.) I also don't know this photographer so I have no way of know his or her intention. All I am saying is that I've taken a lot of photos at this time of day and once the sun starts setting below the horizon, the light acts much more like a spotlight. The fact is you can see the light hitting the sides of the clouds, smoke, smokestack that is facing the direction of the light. The grey area's fall behind the surfaces being lit and it does not look out of character when compared to photos i've taken and seen. NOW… I wouldn't be surprised if the shot was given more contrast and hightened saturation but I don't believe the color was added to a B+W original.

I could be paddling a rowboat down Market Street in San Francisco after the poles have melted, and there will still be conservative fanatics who deny that humans are responsible for Global Warming or that it is even real. I invite you to my web-pages devoted to raising awareness on this urgent issue: http://pltcldscsn.blogspot.com/2009/12/conservati...

This screen cap contains more photos of the same scene. Do you still want to maintain the photo was "doctored" and colorized in some global warming conspiracy effort? http://members.cox.net/donkiyoti/Picture%2015.jpg

Really? A modification of hue/sat falls under the category of a doctored photo now?

That's REALLY grasping at straws. I'd rank this article under the header of creating news out of nothing. Far worse a sin than changing the hue/sat in a photo to boost the colours a bit.
