A new study theorizes that as climate change continues to disrupt the oceans around the world, waves are becoming stronger and more powerful.
"The upper-ocean warming, a consequence of anthropogenic global warming, is changing the global wave climate, making waves stronger," the study's abstract, published in the scientific journal Nature, reads.
"This identifies wave power as a potentially valuable climate change indicator."
The study found that waves have increased in strength by 0.41 percent per year since 1948. It also found that there are "long-term correlations" with sea surface temperatures, in the most energetic region in the globe, defined as the tropical Atlantic, while adding that "wave power in high south latitudes" was also concerning. ..."
In a statement accompanying the study, Losada said that wave power is a good indicator of global warming.

Bigger waves mean more rescues and mouth-to-mouths!

As an East Coast surfer, my n = 1 study tells me that we had better hurricane swells about 10-20 years ago. 1998, an El Nino year, we had some good waves from the tropics. I think 2005 and 2010 were also good years.
My issue with all of these theoretical studies and the news that covers them is that there is never discussion of the uncertainties. What is man’s ability to accurately measure global wave activity? What about prior to the 70s? What are the error bars?

At least they are honest on that part. They never show the studies nor any data to back up their theories.

Now here's a useful statistic:
... a separate study shed light on how much energy that has been put into the Earth's oceans over the past 150 years the equivalent of an atomic bomb explosion every second for 150 years.
How did we ever survive that ?

Climate change, if it exists, is an effect, not a cause, and so can’t cause anything.

a whole 0.41 % increase? wow.
maybe I could body surf now in Hawaii, all I did was float like a cork before..

A new study theorizes ...What is the name of this study? Who sponsored this study? Where can I find this study? Does this study pass the requirements and disciplines of Scientific Method?
The Media equivalent to high level sources say.

Absolutely false. The trade winds have less strength during an El Nino.
