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> | Consequently there is a push to reduce CO₂ and other emissions to slow, if not reverse, that warming.
