The phenomenon, known as \u2018stilling\u2019, is being made worse by the warming of the land and troposphere &#8211; the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth\u2019s surface. The study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign found that the decline in wind speeds, is projected to be less than 5 per cent between 2021 and 2050. It is also happening in northern mid-latitude regions like North America.<\/p>\n<p>But even small decreases in wind speed could have an impact on the continent\u2019s ability to generate power as Europe increasingly relies on renewable sources. Despite conflicting data, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forecasts slowing winds for the coming decades. By 2100, it says, average annual wind speeds could drop by up to 10 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>By using more recent data, putting less emphasis on historical measurements and running more simulations, the new study found an increase in Europe\u2019s summer stilling. It is in line with other research that suggests the impact of our warming world on global wind speeds will become statistically significant in the second half of this century. The impact that a slowing of Europe\u2019s wind speeds could have on renewable energy in the long term is still unclear, however.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2025\/feb\/17\/water-chlorination-cancer-risk-us-eu\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-661\/\">Global warming could be making Europe less windy: What does this mean for renewable energy?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,834,904,1333],"class_list":["post-137601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-renewable-energy","tag-warming","tag-wind"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137601\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
