In a recent campaign video, Trump says that American energy is "weak, substandard and prohibitively expensive" because wind power has been given too much importance.
- Pinwheels rust, they rot, they kill birds, he says in the video.

The climate threat The threats to species richness
The climate is causing lizards to change – but not fast enough The climate threat causes many animal and plant species to show evidence of rapid evolutionary change, but development is not fast enough. This is reported by the Economic Times.
Among other things, dark colored dragonflies have faded in order to reduce the heat they absorb from the sun. Mustard plants have started flowering earlier to take advantage of the snow melting earlier in the year. Similarly, lizards exhibit greater tolerance with cold temperatures.
Nevertheless, research reports show that the changes in species are not happening fast enough to be able to parry the upheavals in the climate. This applies not least to species where it takes a long time before the ind
