I think the overall global effect would be minimal, probably only noticable over large farms, and one can't expect to cover everything. The question is whether the pros and cons total to a net pro, which given the need for diverse energy production, it probably does. We can't put all our eggs into one energy producing basket, and anything we humans do will affect something somewhere. Just something to keep an eye on I suspect.
no, they will build more, and keep on doing so until the landscape is awash with them. Prince Charles who was once an vehement opponent of them is now considering putting them offshore on one of his estates. Ugliness personified. And about as effective as a toy train taking thousands of lowly commuters to their toil.
and as yet know one knows the full impact of these monsters offshore, on the creatures of the deep, i truly hate them and would tear them down as soon as humanly possible. Some people are coining it in, but for those who like their views of the countryside reasonably unspoilt, then tough. Electricity pylons are tame in comparison in size and usefulness.
During the flying ban in the US after 9/11 it was observed that airplane vapour trail pollution was actually lowering the surface temperature of the US by between 1 and 1 degrees. Th pollution was blocking out the Sun and the result was an over all cooling.
The conclusion wasn't that all air flight should stop. By the same token, a very localised change in surface temperature in the footfall of these turbines is utterly meaningless.

Very amusing, Wind farms just convert kinetic energy eventually to heat. They do not produce heat from chemical or nuclear reactions and they do not produce greenhouse gasses. Presumably if the areas where wind farms are situated warm up then elsewhere will be cooler as there is no net increase in the amount of energy and the reduced geeenhouse gasses will have a further cooling effect.
