Nope, because the wind powered energy is kinetic, therefore there are no pollutants.

Is global warming the primary cause of wind?
No. Wind is caused by a combination uneven heating of Earth's surface and Earth's rotation. There has always been wind on Earth and there always will be, with or without global warming.
How do wind farms not contribute to global warming?
Wind farms generate electricity using the power of the wind. There are no polluting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, such as are released from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Do power stations affect global warming?
Power stations that run on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) emit carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas that is contributing to global warming.Power stations that use renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal etc) have no emissions and have no effect on global warming.
Why might using other sources of power like wind and solar energy help to slow global warming?
Because renewable energy, like wind and solar, has no greenhouse gas emissions.
How could global warming change the amount of rainfall an area receives?
Global warming is adding heat to the oceans and the atmosphere. This extra heat is energy, which adds power to the winds. If the normal wind patterns change, then rain-bearing clouds may travel to different places, changing the amount of rainfall an area receives.
Why do we need wind power?
We need wind power in our lives because it reduces global warming.
How is wind energy?
There are no dangerous carbon emissions to cause global warming
Is global warming the primary cause of wind?
No. Wind is caused by a combination uneven heating of Earth's surface and Earth's rotation. There has always been wind on Earth and there always will be, with or without global warming.
How much do wind turbines reduce global warming?
They do not reduce global warming in any way they are just a source of electricity, like solar power and hydroelectricity. Solar power and wind power are renewable power sources but hydroelectricity is not due to the cost of construction and the dams breaking.
How does wind help global warming?
iT BLOWS IT TO CHINA.
Does solar power contribute to global warming?
In fact, the opposite is true.By using solar power, as well as wind power and geothermal power, we can generate electricity without burning fossil fuels. The less we burn fossil fuels, the more we slow down the effects of global warming.
What are two advantages of wind power?
Wind is free, renewable energy that can be turned into electricity.Wind has no polluting carbon dioxide emissions, so it has no effect on global warming.
Is wind the cause of global warming?
No, wind is not the cause of global warming. Global warming is caused by extra greenhouse gases in the atmosphere because we have been burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago.If you mean belching and farting, then they certainly add methane to the atmosphere, especially coming from ruminant animals (like cows). However, they are a small cause compared to the much bigger cause of fossil fuel pollution and deforestation.
What makes wind power worse than fossil fuels?
Nothing much. Wind power is free, renewable, non-polluting, and doesn't cause global warming. Fossil fuels are all exactly the opposite, expensive, non-renewable, polluting, and causing global warming. Some birds get killed by the blades, but far more are killed on the electricity pylons, as well as by fossil-fuel burning vehicles and airplanes.
Which regions might be most affected by a warming climate and why?
All regions will be affected. Global warming is happening all round the world, as the wind blows greenhouse gases everywhere. So pollution from one country will cause global warming even in Antarctica, where there are no emissions.
How do windmills stop global warming?
The use of windmills and wind turbines can slow global warming. The energy they produce is renewable, that is, it releases no greenhouse gases. Because we have this renewable energy then a little less fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) have to be burnt. As they are the main cause of global warming this is a good thing.
How do wind farms not contribute to global warming?
Wind farms generate electricity using the power of the wind. There are no polluting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, such as are released from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
