Climate Change
I'm going to be keeping an eye on the good old "Oddity" over the next couple of weeks where the next round of environment court hearings for the Project Hayes wind farm is being reported.
The owner of the Naseby Hotel is taking his objection to this windfarm to a new level by bringing in a team of prominent climate “sceptics” to argue that man-made global warming is not happening and therefore all the carbon emissions benefits shouldn't be counted and the windfarm should be rejected by the court.
This is interesting in a number of ways....
Trying to overturn the mountain of climate physics that backs up the case for man-made global warming has got to be a major gamble for the hotelier. What will the environment court make of it? Is it even within their remit to consider it?
And then, even if they (the skeptics) do make their case, that hardly undermines the entire project. After all we do build windfarms primarily to make electricity, not just to be seen to be combating global warming. And wind farms do make electricity using free fuel that will never run out!
