Will building wind farms help prevent global warming?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important of the greenhouse gases which are changing our climate. If we are to avoid dangerous levels of climate change we must cut our CO2 emissions by 80-90 per cent by 2050.
Wind power is a clean, renewable form of energy, which during operation produces virtually no carbon dioxide. It also emits no sulphur dioxide, the cause of acid rain. While some emissions of these gases will take place during the design, manufacture, transport and erection of wind turbines, enough electricity is generated from a wind farm within a few months to compensate for these emissions. When wind farms are dismantled (usually after 20 years of operation) they leave no legacy of pollution for future generations.
