I saw the end of it and wished I had saw it. Something about carbon n crap attaching itself to water mol and making shiney clouds?

yep, basically what its doing is reflecting light and heat from the sun off the clouds so we get less heat and light on the surface.

When 9/11 happened they managed to see clearly into the sky as no vapour trails were left by planes as they were all grounded.

beforte the temp change between day and night was practically nothing. After 9/11 when the skies were clear over a degree of difference was there, which is a lot on the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, because the carbon attaches to the water the water mol is therefore smaller than if it was just water - so more water droplets = more reflective clouds?
