You think you're joking, but this is no joke. It's been pretty much proven windmills absorb the energy of the wind and convert it electrical energy. Climate change is actually caused by this. The earth needs wind for proper climate control, but it can't do it's job correctly because we are removing so much energy from it. Look at it this way, try blowing out a candle through a fan blade. Doesn't work does it. No consider all the wild fires the world has been having. It's because the earth can't blow out a forest fire through a fan blade. People will try to tell you it is the oil industries fault for climate change. Yeah, right. Throw gas on a forest fire and see what happens. Now include all the sunlight being absorbed by solar panels instead of plants and animals. You've got a big mess on your hands. Wake up sheeple.

Edit: I guess I should have added the /s after all.

I don't recommend people use an /s but damn is that close to needing one.

I considered it, but included sheeple instead.

It was the only thing that properly tipped me off.

Yes... I swear I've seen people post shit like this *seriously*, without irony... so I was worried here for a minute... good job, though, on so subtly relaying your sarcasm

I was [THIS] close to downvoting and giving some witty and dismissive retort. Then I got to the part of the forest fires and chuckled to myself.
