Yes people - the BBC ain’t perfect but it protects us from the gammon right, anti woke cretins like Laurence Fox.
Tucker Carlson and Republicans, and the right media outlets are blaming the power outages in Texas on ‘green liberal’ wind turbines!!!
This is what Carlson said, a hugely popular mainstream news commentator - "The windmills failed like the silly fashion accessories they are, and people in Texas died."
Now where to begin people?!? Where to begin.
Firstly it’s global warming potentially causing the freak conditions!! But let’s park that.
It’s the Trumpist lie approach at the centre. Because the power outages are 30gw from gas and other non renewables dropping off due to the cold and only 16gw from wind.
And of course if the turbines were of a different specification they would not fail.
The gammons lie, they just do. And this will happen here, unless we stand up.
Protect the BBC, keep our media safe from the right wing. The Daily Mail Scum is already enough. |  |

Fan fact, the Texas grid lost twice as much power output from conventional plants as it did renewables, so it's not even that wind turbines freezing has caused the issue.
"On Tuesday, the state's principal energy supplier, the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (Ercot), said the freezing conditions had led to:
- 30GW being taken offline from gas, coal and nuclear sources
- 16GW loss in capacity in wind and other renewable energy supplies"

The power was actually being stolen by Democrat paedophiles to power pizza ovens.
Or something like that. |  |

The gammons may not like it but it is being reported fairly in their media so far as I can see
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/02/19/climate/texas-storm-power-generat
"The state’s power plants were not prepared for the frigid temperatures that accompanied the storm. Natural gas, coal and nuclear plants – which provide the bulk of Texas’ power in the winter – were knocked offline, and wind turbines froze, too." |  |

But it is ice and sub-zero temperatures.
Clear proof that global warming is a lie. |  |

You can't call it 'Global Warming' any more... they had to change the name to 'Climate Change' to cover all the bases. |  | | |

You can call the ever growing average global temperature increase global warming, because that's what that is specifically talking about.
Climate change is the resulting changes to climate caused by this.
So no, they didn't change it. They're two different but related concepts.
Some simple proof for this would be just checking when this has been mentioned. So for example, in books.
https://books.google.com/ngrams/interactive_chart?content=global+warming%2Cclima
As you can see they get roughly the same amount of mentions, with one beating the other at various points in time.
Also, in your scenario, who is "they"? |  |

Climate Change works better because unfortunately there are so many idiots in the world who don’t understand the difference between ‘climate’ and ‘weather’. | | | |

Yeah. People are so dumb they think snow somewhere disproves Global Warming.
A senator ( or something ) brought a snowball into the chamber one time and tried to do that. |  | | |

There is truth to that claim though. Several US governments and corporations specifically lobbied to call global warming climate change in agreements so that a number of causes could be attributed to it, instead of anything man made.
I'll dig out the references if I've got time today. [Post edited 20 Feb 2021 10:32]

Global Warming is not the same as Climate Change. They are not interchangable terms. | | | |

Yes, I know. But US companies did still lobby for the change so that there was plausible deniability regarding man-made contributors to global warming. [Post edited 20 Feb 2021 10:40]

OK I can believe that they would do that. | | | |
