Lesser known but extremely impactful issues are that terrestrial wind farms can increase or decrease local wind speed, increase ground temperatures (up to 0.5 degrees C), increase water evaporation
It kind of stands to reason that if you take the kinetic energy of the air mass and convert it to electricity, then the air mass will have reduced energy, meaning lower velocity (since the mass of the air is constant). If the air isn’t moving, then the cooling effect is less. Throw up enough wind farms, you can probably stop the air dead in its tracks!

The other unintended consequences of wind turbine farms is the increased slaughter of birds, bats and flying insects.
Very funny. Wind turbines cannot cause global warming.
