I want to believe, but this article is less than convincing without reading detail about the study’s methods.

I didn’t see a link to the paper on my first read. When I decided to go back and get the author’s name, Economist’s paywall kicked in.

If anybody can see the full article, it would be lovely if you put the name of the researcher in the comments so I can read the original paper.

It's easy to believe. The massive ecological destruction caused by the oil and gas industry is well documented. Whatever downsides there are to wind mills, pale in comparison to that.

>Whatever downsides there are to wind mills, pale in comparison to that.

So in your world we're going to do whatever because it can't be as bad? Sounds like a terrible plan.

So in your world, we make no attempt to improve anything unless we can achieve 100% perfection? Sounds like a terrible plan.

No in my world we don't delay the process of stopping to destroy our planet over some minor concerns that are typically raised by people who argue against this because they want to continue burning stuff and slow down the demise of the fossil fuel industry. These people don't actually care about our planet, the environment, or any of this. And I suspect your concern is disingenuous.
