Best answer:

Answer by s
The wind is a renewable source of energy, our climate drives the wind and it cost use nothing, i.e no carbon emissions.

Global warming occurs because we burn fossil fuels and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere this changes the earths albedo factor, a mathematical “constant” which determines how the earth behaves as a black body (a body that absorbs and radiates all frequency’s of electromagnetic radiation, the earth is modeled as a black body – its not a perfect black body like the sun) . Basically as the albedo factor increases the earth radiates less and less, and hence begins to warm up.

Wind power does not use any fossil fuels and hence does not cause any Global warming once they are built . Mankind will need to invest in these types of energy production in order to reduce our carbon foot print. Hope this helps 😀

  1. just the cheese says:

    Wind power is important because it is a renewable resource and doesn’t cause any pollution. Wind power creates clean energy that doesn’t harm or take from the earth. Huge windmills are used to capture this energy, the wind turns the mill, and that creates a form of energy that is clean and hurts nothing and no one.
    This is important to reduce global warming, because by using wind power instead of oil (one example) there is less pollution harming the ozone layer and therefore, less global warming taking place.
