Why does pointing out a documented issue with wind turbines need to be sarcastic?

    Because it's rare to see someone include a link to support their argument, that actually demolishes their argument. Unless that person is being ironic/sarcastic.

    To be clear. The articles does not say that wind turbines destroy "entire flocks of birds". It points out that in the grand scheme of things, wind-turbines are a net positive for bird populations, and goes on to say that while numbers of bird deaths aren't negligable - work is going on to reduce numbers further.

    How this happens: person feels a need to prove a point but has literally no knowledge of a subject. Searches for an article they hope will prove their point (for example: “turbine bird deaths”). First article disproves their assertion, skip. Second, third. Ninth looks promising but christ what a long article. CTRL+F until what they see vaguely matches their argument. The rest of the article is probably fine. Copy/paste article URL, type up a “haha so there” comment.
