Wind derived energy causes global warming because the wind turbine slows the wind which reduces cooling of the earth when the slower wind blows over it. Stop Wind Power Generation!

Fossil fuels, solar, nuclear, extreme Tae Bo classes - you are all so far off as to what causes global warming. The Earth has been around for either thousands or millions of years (depending on your religious persuasion) with the same Sun shining the whole time. Had a few ice ages here and there but the Sun has been radiating about the same for some time and springtime is still pretty pleasant. I have watched plenty of movies with stories that took place in prior centuries and springtime was about the same in those movies so nothing has changed for hundreds of years.
What is causing global warming is volcanos. That’s right. Volcanos. The energy from the Sun absorbed by the Earth is about 970 megawatt-seconds. Okay I’m not sure whether that is at apogee or perigee but, since I never can remember which one is which, let’s just call it average. Volcanos output way more energy than that. A decent sized volcano will produce about 8 terawatt-seconds of energy which is about 8 times what the Sun can do. So every volcanic eruption adds the equivalent of one extra week of sunshine to the planet. In order to prove this beyond any reasonable doubt, I have exhaustively researched news sites for reports of volcanic eruptions. What I discovered is that there are absolutely no reports of volcanos on CNN prior to 1980. Just to appease any skeptics that might say my research is biased, I did the same research for Fox News with the same result. So prior to 1980, there were no volcanic eruptions ever according to your most trusted news sources. Oddly enough, it was about this time when global warming started being reported in the news. Coincidence? I think not. What about sea level rise? Every time you remove something from the Earth, the Earth will replace it. Look at the city of Long Beach, California. It used to be above sea level but decades of removing oil from underneath it have caused it to sink to the point where much of it is now below sea level. Well volcanos allow magma to escape from beneath the Earth’s surface so the Earth must sink to fill up that missing volume. The sea level is not rising – the Earth is sinking. And volcanos in the ocean create new land masses which are far more prone to absorbing solar radiation than the ocean surfaces they replaced. And make no mistake – volcanic eruptions are on the rise having increased parabolically over the last 20 years. So volcanos are significantly heating up our atmosphere, they also add greenhouse gases and promote ozone destruction. Humankind is not destroying this planet – this planet is destroying itself by popping its zits into our atmosphere! Volcanos must be stopped and soon!
Good point 1vic, science is just believing everything on the internet. That's how the global warming falsity became true. Oh yeah, the liberal education regime helped brainwash millennials too. Now they have no sense of science and critical thinking.
It must be true, it's on the internet.
Oh wow! Just wow! Guessing you weren’t a science major.
