1. Yes, because 1a. it's a safer than it used to be and 1b. it's still a choice and families aren't being divided.
2. No. But you should also consider the effects of massive amounts of green space converted for wind and solar. The noise issue from nearby wind turbines is significant.
3. Immediate climate attribution is a bizarre new twist, and mostly comes from the media. The number of people killed in weather events has steadily been decreasing for decades. The overall severity of hurricane and tornado seasons has been steady or dropping. This entire line of argument isn't an effective one.
