Greens were soooo confident that they had finally come up with a winning argument when they said the world was running out of oil and wind power was the answer. Damn it. Now it looks like the world’s running out of wind, too.
The Telegraph UK tells about the latest ill winds blowing for the green movement:
According to government figures, 13 of the past 16 months have been calmer than normal – while 2010 was the “stillest” year of the past decade.
Meteorologists believe that changes to the Atlantic jet stream could alter the pattern of winds over the next 40 years and leave much of the nation’s growing army of power-generating turbines becalmed…
Last year, wind speeds over the UK averaged 7.8 knots (8.9mph), a fall of 20 per cent on 2008, and well below the mean for this century, which stands at 9.1 knots (10.5mph)…
Meteorologists have found that the position of the jet stream has been influenced by the lower levels of activity on the Sun.
The sun? The sun? What kind of poppycock is that? What could the sun possibly have to do with the earth’s climate?
Damn deniers.
