Wind Turbines: More From The Yorks Post Debate.

From: David F Chambers, Sladeburn Drive, Northallerton.

I REFER to the article by Ben Stafford (Yorkshire Post, March 17) headlined: “It’s time we generated some light in the great turbine debate.”

Unfortunately, it adds little to the argument, accepting as it does the basic assumption of global catastrophe due to a man-made rise in C02 levels.
His next assumption is that wind turbines can contribute in any way to combating that situation.
Respected studies, deprived of publicity these days, indicate that, historically and prehistorically, periods of high CO2 levels do not cause rises in global temperature, they follow them after an interval of about 800 years.
Periods of global warming are not apparently brought about by the production of greenhouse gases by man (or his cattle) but by far more fundamental phenomena about which neither HM Government or Opposition can do anything.
Naturally, from the political point of view, this philosophy is utterly unacceptable. Hence the size of our fuel bills.
I hope perhaps this does in fact generate a little light on the debate?
