Changing wind patterns - and not global warming - are causing temperatures to rise on America's West Coast according to new study

Increased temperatures on America's West Coast are not a result of human-caused climate change, but rather naturally occurring wind changes according to a new study.

The 1 degree Fahrenheit of warming that has been recorded on the coast of the northwest Pacific Ocean is due to weaker winds and changing ocean circulation, not a buildup of greenhouse gasses.

These weaker winds accounted for more than 80% of the warming trend along the Pacific Northwest coast between Washington and Northern California, and 60% of the warming in Southern California.

I wonder what will happen once wind turbines become more common?

330, for some, it will slow the winds down, causing global warming. For others, it will redirect the winds so they go faster to get around the longer distances, causing more friction, causing global warming. Others will see the wind slowing down from them, reducing the normal amount of friction they create, thereby cooling the earth's surface and call it climate change. Still more will tell us that the blades remove so much energy from the wind, it cools the air, causing climate change.

So, to answer your question, nothing will happen to what is coming out of the Al Gore worshipers out there!

Get it?

another warning to the "church of what's happening now"; the turbine blades will KILL BIRDS...this is being reported all over the world. so it's ok to spend OUR tax dollars on another money sucking, useless, tree hugger, EPA whim, even though it's going to kill our birds. duh...
