A Texas region containing four of the world's largest wind farms showed an increase in land surface temperature over nine years that researchers have connected to local meteorological effects of the turbines.

The land surface temperature around the west-central Texas wind farms warmed at a rate of 0.72 degrees Celsius per decade during the study period relative to nearby regions without wind farms, an effect most likely caused by the turbulence in turbine wakes acting like fans to pull down warmer air from higher altitudes at night, said lead author Liming Zhou at the University of Albany, State University of New York.

So much for cooling things off.

This is not the first study to show that wind farms cause warming of the areas where they are located, and thus contribute to "global warming". It is not liekly to be the last, but you will never see them in the propagandist MSM. If CO2 has anything to do with global warming, which is itself debatable, then wind farms do more than coal plants to cause global warming due to all the trees cut down both to make their blades and to locate the turbines. Whole swaths of the Amazon, which is called "the lungs of the planet" are being deforested for balsa wood to make wind turbine blades. Trees absorb CO2 for photosynthesis and release Oxygen
