Wind Farms

Reading that a new study has been published, by the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the University of New York, would send the average person into a fit of depression - usual stuff, climate change, we are all guilty etc.

But this time it is cause for amusement.

It appears that whilst at night the earth cools and temperatures fall, in areas with a lot of wind turbines this cold air is mixed with warmer air higher up, warming the atmosphere. It is estimated from a study in Texas that over a decade temperatures increased by 1deg C, a dangerous amount.

So windfarms are actually causing global warming, while we have to pay to subsidise them.
