Rampant Wind Turbine Bird Slaughter Pushes Vulnerable Species to the Edge of Extinction

STOP THESE THINGS

Centuries from now – archaeologists and palaeontologists will be sifting through what were communities of isolated-candle-lit hovels and find the remains of the 21^st Century wind-worship-cult that ended up living in the Stone Age poverty that they were ready to foist upon everybody else.

As they unravel the secrets of what led to the great wind power fraud – that will then be ancient history – the experts will be more than a little perplexed at how these people were able to generate foaming outrage – on the one hand – and malign indifference – on the other – when faced with identical avian outcomes.

Every time an oil rig blows up or an oil tanker runs aground – the faux ‘green’ is the first to howl “blue murder” and demand an end to the oil industry, as soon as birds start washing up on a beach drenched in…

The argument is going to be won with common sense arguments. Those things that make you reconsider whether the numbers are worth anything to start with. As I say, an average doesn’t melt ice anywhere.

Watts Up With That?

A couple of days ago, I highlighted a worst of the worst NOAA climate monitoring station in Arizona with the help of a scientist from the University of Washington.

My friend Jim Goodridge, former California State Climatologist continues to be busy in his retirement, and sends this along today. He’s been tracking a group of weather stations in California, and has been doing so for over 20 years. In fact, it was Jim who first introduced me to that light bulb moment where I realized that global warming wasn’t really all it was cracked up to be when he made this short publication in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society in 1996.

I guess you could say it was the graph that launched a thousand blog posts, because as we all know, CO2 can’t heat differently based on county population.

So with that in mind, have a look at his…
