Climate change cause real sickness (heat waves kill, for one) and my appartment in Paris has become unlivable for days, almost every summer now. Coal, oil and gas won't compensate me, for the price of my flat and the impact on my health either. This impact many more people than wind, so where should we start?

Idem for the noise of airplanes (around 1/3 of them are private jets) that keep waking me up at 3 AM.

You could try to sue the government. In Poland there has been some celebrities suing the government for "refusing to take action against climate change" and they won some compensation which they officially sent towards charity.

It's not black or white though. If wind turbines does have an impact, it should be studied and understood so that, whatever the reason is behind the impact, it can be taken into account. If not, there will always be the risk of backlash that would help nobody. If the causes are understood, then there can be ways to control the impact, solve those issues or, at least, have a better idea where those should and should not be implanted.

And cold impacts many more people than heat. Has climate change altered this statistic? I have no idea but to date, have seen no evidence that cold-related deaths have diminished in recent years. 'Cold weather kills 20 times as many people as hot weather, according to an international study analysing over 74 million deaths in 384 locations across 13 countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, UK, and USA. The findings, published in The Lancet, also reveal that deaths due to moderately hot or cold weather substantially exceed those resulting from extreme heat waves or cold spells.' https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/627630 https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/627630

Heat waves kill fewer than in the past, by far. In 1911 a heat wave apparently killed 41,000 people in Paris. That couldn't have been due to CO2. It was due to lack of cheap, plentiful electricity and air conditioning.
