Consequently there is a push to reduce CO₂ and other emissions to slow, if not reverse, that warming. That push is used to promote the large-scale development of wind energy and to overcome objections of cost and [[Adverse impacts of wind energy|adverse environmental effects]], as well as to avoid questions of actual benefit.<ref name=CO2>[[Carbon emissions]]</ref>

Any controversies over the science or politics of anthropogenic climate change are irrelevant to the arguments for wind energy. If there is a need to reduce CO₂ and other emissions, then wind energy has proved to be ineffective.<ref name=CO2>[[Carbon emissions]]</ref><ref>https://wind-watch.org/pix/displayimage.php?pid=515</ref> With that acknowledgement, the costs and adverse impacts of wind energy far outweigh any other benefits that might be claimed and that remain minuscule.
