@MikeSington Crazy, but not bizarre. He lost a case against the Scottish govt bc an offshore windfarm was "ruining the view" from his Aberdeenshire golf course. Then he lost fighting for legal fees.

Also, FWIW, buildings, esp skyscrapers kill more birds annually.

@DavidHertz6 @MikeSington It's his golf course up north in Aberdeenshire, but I can't believe how much this was missed by US media & hardly anyone seems to know.

He also lost legal fees to the Scottish government, led by a female.

OMFG!!! /s ;)

@AnthonyDebenny @MikeSington The offshore windfarm was "ruining the view" from his Aberdeenshire golf course.

@kimalyceosteen @SusannaMcCoy19 He lost a lawsuit against the Scottish government bc they wouldn't remove an offshore windfarm "ruining the view" from his golf course. Then he sued them for fees & lost. They sued him & won.
Then he spouted gibberish about wind.

@jlerollblues @DrEricDing If you consider people indoors vs outdoors, heat/ AC or not, 'summer' here in the northern UK has also been keeping people indoors more than outdoors.

@richunitt A lot of that is calculated via tourism throughout the yr (technically things like the Crown Jewels in Tower of London, art, public buildings etc) are taxpayer-owned, not privately owned.
Big events bring more tourists, statistically, per yr.
Unsure if that's the only thing.

Nix is banned from doing business in the UK now, and I'm not under the illusion that really protects 'online freedom' elsewhere.

@William01848 @F22Wraptor @blue_jay_john @BBCWorld You might want to search for 'Mitre'. IIRC, Forbes has a decent article on it from ~a couple of years ago.

@StuartRance @newscientist It's not 1016 it's 10¹⁶, ie 10 to the power of 16 - quadrillion, as it says in the subheadings.

@JVLazarus The conclusion that masks work, and that better masks are needed to address the DOMINANT airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is the consensus of almost 400 international experts in the major DELPHI study led by @JVLazarus in @Nature:
