Making #viruses more dangerous. #Gain-of-function research by #Pfizer: It is creepy to magnify the dangerousness of #germs. For me, it is a form of madness. This is a thread.

The U.S. continues to fund this type of research, namely in various places outside the U.S. (#Wuhan, #Ukraine, ...), and according to various sources, sometimes even in direct collaboration with #Pfizer.

It is just as creepy to increase the dangerousness of conflicts in order to better sell one's expensive #armaments to the man/woman. For me, this is just another form of the same greed-driven madness.

Due to Russian attacks, Ukraine has lost most of its #wind turbines. Before the war, they accounted for 10-12% of energy production. After the war, the development of renewable energy should be continued even faster (in German TV).

When the German Chancellor Olaf #Scholz visits #Kyiv once again and tries to sell wind turbines - as he did in #India before - three forms of madness come together there.

Harvard scientists around researcher David #Keith have published through measurements in large wind farms as well as simulations that the temperature would rise by 0.24 °C in the U.S. if the U.S. produced all electricity via #wind energy.

Now you have to know that the population density in the USA is only approximately one seventh of Germany. Consequently, Germany can cover only 1/7 (~34/233 population/km2) of its electricity demand to achieve the same atmospheric effect.

However, Germany covers about a quarter to a fifth of its electricity (~120 - 130 TWh/a of ~530 TWh/a) by wind energy.

The according result can be seen clearly in a report by "WELT" (in german language): "The weather changes particularly blatantly in Germany". Warming began to diverge from the global course after the first wind farms were built in Europe.

The effect to be read in the diagram is ~0.4 - 0.5 °C (see DWD diagram in WELT). That corresponds with 0.24 °C x 1/4 / (1/7) = 0.42 °C close to this value (tweet 7 + 8). Who is surprised there that politics, science and press/media close the eyes before such realizations.

Germany consumes ~3,300 TWh in 2020 (= ~12,000 PJ). This is approximately 2% of the global energy consumption (~ 160,000, see following tweet).
bdew.de/energie/primae…
11/20

From this, we produce just under ~1/20 (= 120 - 130 TWh/a) by wind turbines (see Tweet 8). Consequently, we produce about ~0.1% or ~1 per mille of the total international energy consumption (~ 160,000 TWh) by wind energy in Germany.

Does anyone seriously believe that this per mille will reduce the temperature by 0.4 to 0.5 °C again in a finite time? We can wait a long time there, even if one believes 100% in the CO2 thesis.

The latter has already been difficult since 2019, when one of the leading climate scientists admitted that global climate simulations by the scientific community are not yet on target.

Only a few months later, a reader (Dr. Roland Aßmann) inquired that this researcher had never thought about the effect of the so-called "terrestrial stilling", i.e. the global wind decrease over land that has been observed for decades.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_te…
15/20

And this decrease of wind (related to the land area) causes a reduction of evaporation, the most important cooling effect of the earth's surface (see Trenberth diagrams), similar to the draining of wetlands and soil sealing.

16/20

Mathematically, the described effect could roughly correspond to the so-called radiative forcing that science attributes to CO2.
epa.gov/climate-indica…
17/20

At this point, the described effect of the interaction of wind and evaporation plays a role and this has been already well documented (see the EU-funded display board in Frankfurt's Mainhafenpark).

No matter how you look at it, scientists, politicians and journalists deliberately ignore the negative effects of wind energy. Will our politicians sooner or later manage to export this madness to Ukraine as well? 19/20

Credit R. Aßmann, Michael Schellenberger. I became aware of these aspects through the letter from R. Aßmann to the editor to the article mentioned in tweet 2. Through M. Schellenberger I became aware of his views on the energy policy in Germany.

Addendum: On Twitter M.S. wrote that R. Habeck was lying about the procurement of fuel rodd (extension of nuclear power plant lifetimes was failing), a spokesman for nuclear power contradicted him. Aspects regarding wind turbines vs nuclear power (German).
