      Your own source says that 1000x more birds are killed by windows. Turbines are a fraction of a percent of human caused bird deaths. Not really a reason to stop making wind turbines. Climate change would be much more disastrous for the birds.

        I’m not saying it’s a reason to stop making them, but to say they’re entirely without negative environmental impact seems disingenuous.

        Why does pointing out a documented issue with wind turbines need to be sarcastic?

          Because it’s rare to see someone include a link to support their argument, that actually demolishes their argument. Unless that person is being ironic/sarcastic.

          To be clear. The articles does not say that wind turbines destroy “entire flocks of birds”. It points out that in the grand scheme of things, wind-turbines are a net positive for bird populations, and goes on to say that while numbers of bird deaths aren’t negligable - work is going on to reduce numbers further.

            How this happens: person feels a need to prove a point but has literally no knowledge of a subject. Searches for an article they hope will prove their point (for example: “turbine bird deaths”). First article disproves their assertion, skip. Second, third. Ninth looks promising but christ what a long article. CTRL+F until what they see vaguely matches their argument. The rest of the article is probably fine. Copy/paste article URL, type up a “haha so there” comment.

      And pollution from fossil fuels is responsible for much, much, much more harm to birds specifically, not to mention all of the other effected species.

      EDIT: You deleted your comment about wind turbines so I’m assuming you see the point.
