Germany has been overrun with 30,000 giant industrial wind turbines and millions of solar panels. Its climate cult reckons that the wholesale environmental destruction wreaked so far is all about saving the planet. It\u2019s an argument that holds all the logic of amputating an entire leg to prevent a septic toe from doing any further damage \u2013 when a dose of penicillin would do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Moore\u2019s Planet of the Humans<\/a> managed to lift the lid on green hypocrisy, focusing on the raft of inconvenient truths behind the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time. Now, a growing number of Germans are starting to catch on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serious studies have shown that Germany\u2019s climate has changed as a result of its grand wind and solar transition, but not for the better: Climate Changing: Germany\u2019s 30,000 Wind Turbines Causing Local Rainfall Droughts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Pierre Gosselin outlines below, there has been a radical shift in attitude among Germany\u2019s academic class, and it\u2019s all down to the local weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Prof. Gerd Gantef\u00f6r Calls For More Studies On The Regional Climate Impact By Wind Turbines<\/strong>
No Tricks Zone

31 May 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

German online Reichschuster.de here reports<\/a> on Gerd Gantef\u00f6r, a German professor of experimental physics who taught at the University of Konstanz and Johns Hopkins University Baltimore (USA), among others. He has authored some 150 technical articles on renewable energies or climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gantef\u00f6r has been an outspoken expert critic of Germany\u2019s energy policy and the alarmist aspects of climate science.
<\/strong>Recently the renowned expert once again asked uncomfortable questions about possible connections between wind parks and their impact on regional climate. The answers Gantef\u00f6r gave to the German daily \u201cNordkurier\u201d have raised some eyebrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, the physicist warns: \u201cWe don\u2019t currently know what all can happen if we continue to put up countless wind turbines.\u201d
<\/strong>The interview was prompted by a 2012 NASA study<\/a> that suggested large wind farms in particular lead to an increase in the ambient temperature and are thus partly responsible for the warming of the climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Gantef\u00f6r, has some doubts about this phenomenon, he nevertheless believes the \u201cconnection between wind turbines and global warming is possible \u2013 albeit for a reason not examined in the study,\u201d reports Reichschuster.de <\/a> \u201cThe authors were able to show that wind turbines swirl the cool layers of air that are directly above the ground and the somewhat warmer layers above them, and that this leads to an increase in temperature near the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proven in other scientific publications
<\/strong>Gantef\u00f6r, however, focusses on another aspect: evaporation, which has been proven in other publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mechanism goes as follows: \u201cLarge wind turbines logically slow down the wind by sapping the energy out of it. Less wind means less evaporation and thus less precipitation. And if it gets drier, it could just happen that it gets warmer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A study of this kind by Deutsche Windguard<\/a> was reported on by reitschuster.de in July 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overdoing wind energy
<\/strong>Moist air from the North Atlantic plays a major role on Europe\u2019s climate, and eventually makes its way over the sea to Germany. But that air gets slowed down by the relatively large wind farms in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, says Gantef\u00f6r. The possible consequence: \u201cIf you overdo it with too many wind turbines\u201d, the region \u201cwill become drier\u201d and \u201cthis possible scenario needs to be meticulously played out and studied by climatologists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know at the moment what all can happen if we continue to put up countless wind turbines,\u201d warns Gantef\u00f6r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New studies warn
<\/strong>Germany has so far installed over 30,000 wind turbines, which is about 1 every 11 sq. km. Plans are calling for doubling or even tripling the current wind power capacity. But this may be detrimental as new studies show that wind farms are altering local climates, and thus may be having an effect on global climate and contributing to regional droughts.\u00a0We reported on this here earlier this month<\/a>.

Austrian Biochemical Engineer: \u201cNo Energy Production Method Is More Damaging Than Wind Turbines\u201d<\/strong>
No Tricks Zone
Pierre Gosselin
14 July 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Germany and Austria rush to wean themselves off fossil fuels like coal and natural gas to produce electricity and replace them with weather-dependent wind and solar energy, the countries aim to substantially expand their fleet of wind turbines by 2040. Many would have to be installed near homes and in sensitive wildlife areas. e.g.the 1,000 -year-old Reinhard Forest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\u00a0AUF 1 interview<\/a>, Hammer comments on the effectiveness and usefulness of wind power plants and offers a completely different view of what the entrenched politicians claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Damaging the local environment
<\/strong>Hammer explains that one problem with wind turbines is that hey extract a massive amount of kinetic energy from the wind, which in turn leads to a windspeed reduction downstream from the wind park and air layers getting mixed. The higher layers of wind end up getting mixed with the layers near the surface. \u201cColder layers are getting mixed with warmer layers and that is having dramatic effects on the temperature, humidity, and on evaporation,\u201d which leads to \u201cdrier conditions and even drought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently the lion\u2019s share of Germany\u2019s 30,000 installed wind turbines are located across the north, where drought conditions have occurred over the past years<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEconomic nonsense\u201d
<\/strong>When asked about how realistic it would be to quickly go 100% renewable, Hammer characterized the idea as \u201ceconomic nonsense, saying it would require an additional 19,000 turbines and large swaths of land that just aren\u2019t available in Austria.
