So Climatechangevangelistas... if global warming was caused by fossil fuels what damage are wind turbines?

[healthmyths]

Utility-scale large wind farms are rapidly growing in size and numbers all over the world.
Data from a meteorological field campaign show that such wind farms can significantly affect near-surface air temperatures. These effects result from enhanced vertical mixing due to turbulence generated by wind turbine rotors
Data from the field campaign show that near-surface air temperatures downwind of the wind farm are higher than upwind regions during night and early morning hours, whereas the reverse holds true for the rest of the day (Fig. 2A). Thus, this wind farm has a warming effect during the night and a cooling effect during the day.

Anyone concerned about the warming of the earth's temperature?

How would turbines raise the temperature? They’re designed to take energy from the atmosphere in the form of the air’s kinetic energy. Removing energy lowers the temperature of a system. You’ve got to look at the whole thing, not just downwind.

1. I agree with you that wind turbines do not affect the air temperature, they just extract some energy from the moving air.

2. From the closed thread. The appeals will overturn those 34 bullshit "felonies".

How much concrete does it take to anchor those huge turbines?

Nope, not worried about warm temperatures in the slightest. There's nothing we can do to alter the changes that are occurring in the sun. Its the height of arrogance to think that man can affect a planetary atmosphere.

Warming at night and cooling during the day.

Sounds like it cancels out

ANY form of energy producing plant is going to have an impact.

How much concrete is there in nuke plants and fossil fuel plants?
