Wind farms make climate change WORSE: Turbines actually heat up local areas

• Earth's average temperature has risen by 0.8C since 1900

Air temperatures around four of the world’s largest wind farms have increased by up to 0.72C in a decade, researchers have found.

In contrast, Earth’s average temperature has warmed by only 0.8C since 1900.
