I am neither confirming or denying that wind farms slow the wind down because I do not know and I do not have any evidence upon which to base my answer. I am asking you to provide data to support your claim and you have failed to provide this to me and any other serious poster in this thread so far.

Please note the underlined as this is important when discussing the topic. How are you supposed to get an answer if your readership knows little or nothing about the subject and you have also failed to supply any supporting evidence? You are asking us to believe what you say is true just because you said it is yet not providing any data to back up this claim so that we may form an educated opinion on your suggestion.

Once again; Please provide evidence that Wind farms slow down windspeed and contribute to Global Warming.

If we can all agree on this? Based on what evidence?

I believe the onous is on yourself to back up your claims, not for us to seek eveidence that what you claim to be true is infact true.

If say you were to go down to a wind farm and take wind speed measurements; not once but once a week (or more) over the course of a year to take into account weather changes over the seasons and then present us with your data we would have reason to listen to you. You kindly provided a link which I followed and read the part you noted - perhaps I am missing something but this is the same circular argument you have been posting already and nowhere does it state the reasons for any wind speed changes only that the windfarm is the cause. Why is the wind farm the reason for loss in wind speed?

Please back up your claims.

Oh great, at least now I know I didn't just pick that number out of thin air.

I did think 10,000 years was not a very long time to allow for evolution when I responded the first time.

I thought modern humans were roughly 10,000 years old ?

I believe there are parasites that release chemicals that influence the behaviour of their host but they are parasites and not necessarily simbiotic; Simbiosis implies a mutual benefit between the two, whereas parasitical organisms purpose is for their own gain.
