What I am trying to say is that, if creation/movement of clouds are generally counted as an Attack Potency/Destructive Ability, why is Esdeath's storm/cloud creation feat considered to be an environmental destruction feat?

Both feats require a certain amount of energy to manipulate the environment in some way, but only Esdeath's feat is specified as Environmental Destruction.

Since Big Chill's Country level environmental destruction feat comes from this calculation here, and since this feat actually involves a direct application of energy from Big Chill towards the creation of a weather phenomenon, it seems like this would be an example of Destructive Ability/Attack Potency.

I don't think that Environmental Destruction should be used as a term when it comes to feats at all, honestly. Especially if these weather modification feats are done directly by the character him/herself, and no other external source of energy was used in order to perform the feat.
