This site is a reference point for those with a cool head for climate science, arguably the most political science ever. When the government and most of the media concentrate on alarmism, this site is the antidote for those who don't believe the scare stories - YOU ARE NOT ALONE! (blog started on 7/11/07) We have over 1.8 million hits and blog is updated regularly most weeks.
OK, math is not my strong suit, but let me take a crack. 150 eagle deaths, across 154 wind facilities, over a decade, is less than 1 eagle, per wind farm, per decade. Not wind TURBINE, wind FARM. (which might be 20 or 200 turbines)
This is a 150 eagles spread out over 10 tears over a really wide territory.
"The legalized slaughter of eagles and other large birds of prey was legitimized under the Obama administration and continues today. At the time, it was estimated that nearly 600,000 birds of all types were killed by the much smaller wind footprint at that time, including 83,000 hunting birds such as hawks, falcons and eagles."
Cars, tall buildings, electric utilities, house cats, together kill in the hundreds of millions. wind comes in near dead last on a list of the top 10 bird killers.
An interesting article about Atlantic hurricane season. This effects the east coast of the United States, and more than likely the Gulf of Mexico. All the doubt you are trying to generate doesn't seem to effect the science.
Extremely active Atlantic hurricane seasons are now twice as likely as they were in the 1980s due to global heating, according to new research that warns the climate crisis is supersizing storms that threaten life and property in coastal areas.
Climate breakdown has contributed to a “decisive increase” in intense hurricane activity since 1982, the study states. Researchers in Germany and Switzerland who undertook the analysis wrote that the growing hyperactivity of storms could be “robustly ascribed” to the rising temperature of the oceans.
The warming of the sea surface has “contributed significantly to more extreme tropical cyclone seasons and thereby to the fatalities, destruction and trillion-dollar losses that these cyclones have caused over the last four decades”, the research added.
What "climate breakdown" are you talking about? The climate here in the UK is almost the same as it was 100 years ago. As far as hurricanes getting worse or more of them see this piece: https://climatescience.blogspot.com/2021/02/good-news-on-climate-no-needto-worry.html
If the oceans are warming and they are, the climate is changing. That is very strong evidence in the science. water vapor is very much an energy carrier into our storms including hurricanes.
Climate breakdown is the most recent term for what was previously known as global warming (that the average temperature of the earth is continuing to rise) or climate change (that the global climate has changed in an unprecedented manner). The phrase climate breakdown was made a journalistic standard by The Guardian after the recent IPCC report. poeticearthmonth.com/what-is-climate-breakdown/ What Is Climate Breakdown? - Poetic Earth Month

Changing climate does not mean a breakdown of climate. Using the term climate breakdown is alarmist.
