New research finds that wind farms actually warm up the surface of the land underneath them during the night, a phenomena that could put a damper on efforts to expand wind energy as a green energy solution.

So free, renewable energy is destroying the Earth so we should keep burning fossil fuels to be safe?

No... man is evil and destructive. We should all be exterminated to save Mother Gaia.

This will all be resolved when the population of the Earth gets so huge that the Earth can't sustain it. Then, a solution will be thrust upon us whether we like it or not. After that, pollution won't be a problem for several hundred more years.

We've already arrived at the solution numerous times. It's called "war". When resources become scarce, the fight will be on.

Just as long as it doesn't weigh so much it tips Hawaii over I'm good.

"They" tried to tell us just a couple of years ago that livestock farts were warming the earth.

If you read the actual source article, it says that there's no actual net temperature change -- just a local change on the ground right around the windmill.

Meaning...it's not actually harming or altering anything in the overall atmosphere, it's just moving warmer air that was all ready there to a different spot.
