having to sign up to Facebook to see it. Your not on Facebook? ??!! Eh??? YouTube one...https://youtu.be/wfzgIxMEo8g I started work on internet enabled systems in 1981 and got the chat and friending out of my system with Compuserve in 1982 - when on a busy day worldwide there could be 300 people in chat rooms You could tell who people were by the 'node' that they were logging into. Thanks for the link

I first saw the interweb on a pc in '95/'96. Windsurfing friend showing me some manufacturers Web page on dialup. ..we made coffee, drank coffee...you remember FB is really useful for access to local info, interests and keep in touch with distant family (ie, gossip, geeky knowledge and family bickering )

This is what happens when you confuse subsidy farmers with environmentalists. Your average subsidy farmer could not give a flying @@@@ about forests, orangutans or large raptors - only that there is a guaranteed rate of return hugely higher than available in the stock market or bank rates. As soon as the subsidies disappear so will the subsidy farmers.

phys.org/news/2012-04-farms-temperature-region.htmlThe wind industry in the United States has experienced a remarkably rapid expansion of capacity in recent years and this fast growth is expected to continue in the future1, 2, 3. While converting wind’s kinetic energy into electricity, wind turbines modify surface–atmosphere exchanges and the transfer of energy, momentum, mass and moisture within the atmosphere4, 5, 6. These changes, if spatially large enough, may have noticeable impacts on local to regional weather and climate.

Imagine my shock! Taking megawatts of energy from the local climate has an effect! Quelle surprise!
Anyone with a knowledge of chaos theory knows that extremely small changes can have large effects..... taking megawatts of energy from the local environment is just a tiny weeny bit more than a butterfly wing. Sustainable? Well they really don't know.

(thinking like a climate 'scientist')

(thinking like a climate 'scientist') Or just extract every fifth sentence, fortify with a fifth, and there you have it! Truth.
