So, that is not a problem of wind farms in general. They need to find a better site for the wind turbines, or another route for the transmissions lines, or another system like maybe wave or tidal power.

Global warming is threatening to melt vast areas of tundra and release both carbon dioxide and methane. So, the knock on effect from warming will be more warming. This is not theoretical - the tundra is already starting to melt and already releasing immense amounts of greenhouse gases.

Burning fossil fuels into the future at anywhere near the rate we are now is going to be a very bad thing for all life on earth. It will cost much more money because of all the damage it is doing to the only planet we have; and we will run out of accessible oil anyway.

There is no Planet B.
