How the 'wind farms increase climate change' myth was born | Leo Hickman | Environment | guardian.co.uk

Such is the viral nature of information flow on the internet, we can sometimes see myths and memes developing before our very eyes. Just such an example has occurred over recent days with the rather irresistible news that wind farms can "increase climate change".

The article that really gave this idea a push online was published on Sunday evening on the Daily Mail's website. It was delivered with the headline: "Wind farms can actually INCREASE climate change by raising temperatures and causing downpours, warn academics."



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Just a small example of the Daily Mail comments:

Wind farms can actually INCREASE climate change by raising temperatures, warn academics | Mail Online

Very pleased to see that this quasi-religious fanaticism masquerading as science is being further exposed. 'Global warming' suddenly became 'climate change' after it was discovered that the earth was inconveniently cooling, now wind farms are shown to be nothing but a symbol of green fascism. Continue the proper research!

Knew you'd like it.
