Another Major Hansen Fail | Real Science

Hansen forecast 1-3C warming in Antarctica this decade for Scenario B. Emissions have been higher than Scenario A, and temperatures haven’t risen at all, so he got it very wrong at both ends.

The New Nostradamus of the North: Wind turbines kill 440,000 birds each year in the US alone

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reports that wind turbines kill 440,000 birds each year, including many protected and endangered species. In addition wind turbines kill a huge number of bats, which are important for insect control and plant pollination. And the number of killed animals will increase with every new wind turbine.
