> There is no climate benefit to opening a wind farm. The climate benefit comes when a wind farm causes a fossil fuel power plant to be shut down.

In many countries, this is exactly what's happening.

In the UK for example, gas and electricity usage has been declining for the last 15 years. Coal has been almost eliminated from the grid, and renewables now account for about 40% of generation, from less than 10% a decade ago. Overall carbon emissions are below 1890 levels.

Obviously we have outsourced some of our emissions but there's very clearly a huge reduction that can't be entirely explained by that.
