In an ironic twist, the U.N. report identified loss of habitat as the greatest endangerment to the future health of species, yet what solution does it offer for halting man-made climate change?  Greatly increased habitat loss to construct vast solar arrays and industrial-scale wind turbine farms.

According to a new study by Paul Driessen, if America were to replace all of its electricity generation capabilities with wind, it would need some 14 million turbines, each one 400 feet tall, each one capable of generating 1.8 megawatts at full capacity when the wind is blowing at the proper speed.  At 50 acres per turbine, that works out to 700 million acres (ten times the size of Arizona).  He notes that eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures, geese, and other high-flying birds and bats would virtually disappear from our skies.  Insects and vermin would proliferate.

Oh, my.  I wonder if Miss Thunberg realizes the unintended consequences of her proposals.  Maybe it is time for her to return to school and stop lecturing us on things she knows so little about.

Leftists say she doesn’t want oceans to boil. Is that even possible?

Do they even ‘Science’?

Greta wants money and celebrity and to kill children and steal their childhood.

She projected!

She wants the kalifate islamo-green carbon tax shutting up future dissent while she will get to consume all that energy in political campaigns, speaking herself into a satanic goddess of sorts.

That’s an easy one. She would just say, you don’t need electricity.

Maybe we could make her and her kind extinct. The world would be a wonderful place.

50 acres per turbine seems bizarrely huge. Where does he get that?

Do you think that if Greta and her minions had the legal authority to force us to comply with their demands and hare brained schemes they wouldn't hesitate to do so?

OK, set up a pair of biospheres. One with little or no CO2, one with double the normal atmospheric concentration. Populate each with a variety of plants, bugs and critters.

Check back in a year.
