The temperature of Planet Earth is determined by the amount of wind blowing over the surface. Wind blowing over the oceans produces evaporative cooling. It cools the temperature of the oceans and the land that the wind blows over.

The increasing temperature of the planet is entirely due to less wind blowing. Evaporative cooling is so significant that "swamp coolers" are used in Arizona, where a fan blows air through dripping water to cool houses.

Weather maps show a high pressure air mass that has been parked over the coast of California for the past twenty years. The pressure zone kept increasing in size going from Mexico to the Arctic Circle sending ocean air into the Arctic causing the ice to melt and reducing ocean-air currents in California.

Recently, high pressure air masses have being doing the same thing off the European coast and other places. First, there is much heating; and then accumulated moisture in the high pressure air mass will come out all at once and create flooding.

Carbon dioxide does not cause high pressure air masses to form and park someplace. Lying about carbon dioxide and renewable energy wastes money and resources without solving the problems.

So-called renewable energy puts more carbon dioxide into the air than other energy sources because of the massive quantities of steel, concrete and rare materials, even before the long transmission lines are built, which no one can afford.

Long transmission lines cost the same as the sources about every 300 miles. And then energy loss must be reduced to no more than half of the energy. The longer the lines, the less energy they can transmit without exceeding the 50% loss. And that's why suitable transmission lines don't exist. It isn't possible to produce them.

So-called fossil fuels and nuclear energy were moved to the edge of cities to eliminate long transmission lines. But renewables need long transmission lines.
