No, wind turbines are pollution free, and make no contribution to climate change. (Apart from carbon dioxide emissions from manufacture and installation, which are counterbalanced by the electricity of a few months of energy production.)

What type of energy do not contribute to climate change?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel) does not contribute carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
How many people would it take to trash Antarctica to change the climate?
Trashing Antarctica (no matter which way) will not stop climate change (if that is the question).The way to stop climate change is:Change from fossil fuel energy (coal, oil and natural gas) to renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro).Replant the great forests of the world so they can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What is the wind effect on climate?
wind moves fronts along and causes the weather to change drastically or relatively stay the same
What is the role of renewable energy in climate change?
The role of the renewable materials is very important to human beings especially to climate change because, renewable energy utilizes natural resources such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished.Non-renewable sources of energy, like coal, oil and natural gas, emit carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is contributing to climate change. This is why we need to move to renewable sources.Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, and hydroelectricity to biomass and biofuels for transportation.Climate change refers to the variation in the Earth's global climate or in regional climates over time. It describes changes in the variability or average state of the atmosphere over time scales ranging from decades to millions of years. These changes can be caused by processes internal to the Earth, external forces or, more recently, human activities. . The external factors that can shape climate are often called climate forcing and include such processes as variations in solar radiation, the Earth's orbit, and greenhouse gas concentrations.About 13 percent of primary energy comes from renewables, with most of this coming from traditional biomass like wood-burning. Hydropower is the next largest source, providing 2-3%, and modern technologies like geothermal, wind, solar, and marine energy together produce less than 1% of total world energy demand. The technical potential for their use is very large, exceeding all other readily available sources.
Is climate change reversible?
We can reverse the effects of climate change if we act urgently. Governments have tolegislate to reduce carbon dioxide, methaneand other greenhouse gas emissionsencourage research and development of renewable sources of energy (hydro, solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, biofuel) to replace our reliance on fossil fuelslegislate to prevent destruction of forestsand to encourage widespread plantingencourage sustainable choices by households for energy conservation through smart meters, variable time energy prices etc.

What advantage does nuclear power have over solar wind and hydroelectric?
It doesn't contribute to climate change (APEX)
How does wind affect climate change?
Not much. It's the other way round. Climate change affects the winds. More heat in the atmosphere is more energy, which is making storms and wind more violent.
How does global warming change the climate?
Global warming affects the climate because it puts extra heat into the oceans and atmosphere. Heat is energy, and this energy is used to change our weather, with stronger storms and changes to wind and ocean currents. After a number of years this changed weather becomes changed climate.
What are some factors that contribute to climate?
Precipitation, Wind, Temperature, Forest, Geographic coordinate
How many wind turbines are there in Scotland?
As of 2021, there are over 6,000 wind turbines in Scotland, making it a leader in wind energy generation in the UK. The country has made significant investments in renewable energy, including wind power, to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change.
What factors contribute to north Africa's climate?
Hot, Humid like weather. Climate zone: Tropical Dry.

Why doesn't wind energy pollute?
Because wind is part of nature. It doesn't release carbon dioxide emissions like fossil fuels do, so it isn't causing global warming and climate change.
What Energy changes occur in wind?
Slap change in energy
What kinetic energy can change into electrical energy?
Yes kinetic energy can change into electrical eneergy because wind turbines change
How does the sun contribute to the climate?
the sun does not contribute to the climate the f-ing aliens do there frickin everywhere there watching you
