Wind turbine blades to move through a relative dimension in space?

OK, so apparently you will respire on average about 200ml of CO2 per minute.
x60 x24 x365 = about 200kg/year.

(And leaving aside where this C is coming from for the minute…)

Multiply this by 7 billion people and you get:
Human beings breathe out 1.5 Gt/year of CO2.

What about everything else?

The sea releases and absorbs around 330Gt/year (absorbs about 6Gt more than it emits)
The land (incl vegetation) releases 440Gt and absorbs 450Gt per year
Human industrial and agricultural activity emits 30Gt per year.

Ok, so human breathing is less inconsequential than I expected, but it remains very close to inconsequential.

As usual, when one of Dungfungus’s climate-denying talking points is examined, it is found wanting.

*** Of course, the C in the CO2 that we breathe out is all C that we have obtained from eating food and drinking fine wines – this C is C that was fixed recently (or maybe a couple of decades ago in the case of that disappointing Grange you had last weekend) and it is C that will probably be rixed again not long after you breathe it out.
The C in coal is C that was fixed many millins of years ago. All *that* C was fixed a very long time ago and it is the re-release of this C that was removed from the system all that time ago that is reponsible for raising atmospheric CO2 levels to a level that is higher than any CO2 levels for many millions of years.
Last time CO2 levels were as high as they are right now, sea levels were 40m higher than they are now. Antarctica and Greenland are both responding to this increased CO2 by busily shedding ice into the ocean. The $#@% is hitting the fan, while some of the less well-endowed among us – intellectually-speaking – are still repeating their Murdoch-supplied talking points. You will remember this moment in decades to come…..

I really haven’t got a clue what you are talking about but whatever it is it is not working because nothing is changing. Who is Professor Murdoch BTW?
I don’t drink anything either (have a crook liver). What is wrong with Co2? Why does it have to be fixed all the time?

HenryBG’s comment is well written and pretty simple stuff. Perhaps you should read it again if you don’t understand it, since he wrote it largely for your benefit.

As for what is wrong with CO2 in relatively high concentrations, here is a government-funded short and simple explanation: http://www.climatechange.gov.au/greenhouse-effect.

I’d rather replace coal power stations with wind farms than stop breathing to reduce CO2 emissions. I fail to see what part of my comment was “wild”.

The added benefit of replacing coal with wind is that it will bring power prices down, as it has done in South Australia.

We have a comedian on Riotact haha. Ive got a Bridge I can sell you going cheap if you believe heavily subsidized wind power is cheaper than coal. SA has the highest power prices in Australia and its the tax payer that has to subsidize every one of the wind turbines at around $400,000 per turbine.

These things really mess up the weather radar.
Why the hell are they putting more of these things in when electricity consumption is falling?

Because CO2 emissions from coal power stations really mess up the weather.

You have no idea how weather radar works, do you?
If Co2 emissions “mess up the weather” why blame only coal power stations or do you breath out a type of Co2 that is “clean & green”?
Another wild statement from a warmist without any evidence.

I never mentioned weather radar.

Let’s see, shall we Dungfungus, whether the CO2 that we are respiring is at levels that warrant concern….be back in a tick.

I hope they let the Lake George zebra man loose with paint on them so we can have the World’s biggest pinwheels.

Antagonist said :

“The radius of the circle they describe will be increased by 6m.”

Nope.

The radius increases by the same amount the blade length increases by, which is 6m.

Right you are. I got muddled when trying to figure out what the whinge was (between redundant clauses) in the hysterical carry-on of the OP.
