Earlier this year, California was pummeled by what local surfers described as the best swell in decades: massive waves that damaged piers, crumbled sea cliffs and flooded coastlines. A new study finds that wave heights are getting bigger along the California coast as global temperatures have warmed.
The study, published Tuesday in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, looked at nearly a century's worth of data and found that the average height of winter waves has grown by about a foot since 1969. The number of storm events that produced waves greater than 13 feet in height has also increased, the study found.
In that same time, the burning of fossil fuels has contributed to an increase in average global temperatures by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit.
"This is just another indication that overall average wave heights have increased significantly since 1970 — since the advent of the upward trend in global warming," said Peter Bromirski, researcher emeritus at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the study's author.
Bromirski used seismic records dating back to 1931 to get a sense of how much wave heights had changed off California's coast during the winter months. When waves ricochet off the coast, they send energy back toward the sea. When that energy hits incoming waves, it pushes energy downward, creating a seismic signal that can be detected.

The media in the 1970s saw things differently.
First of all, it is a myth that the climate has warmed since the 1930s.
This started in the the 60’s following formation of The Club of Rome, a collectivist One World Government group.
Climate Change is a HOAX. A Hoax to control how we think, how we live, and how they can take away our Freedom.
Another day, another episode of “As the scam turns.”
It’s El Nino you Weather Deniers!
The sun rose this morning, and it was later than it did yesterday, because of climate change.
“When waves ricochet off the coast, they send energy back toward the sea. When that energy hits incoming waves, it pushes energy downward, creating a seismic signal that can be detected.”
Well, that process certainly sounds like it could be exploited to obtain the desired Data. 😏
Sounds great! Better surfing and we can grow bananas in Colorado!
Someone should pass a law banning underwater volcanoes spewing unprecedented amounts of water into the stratosphere.
A study of 55 years is only a study of averages....nothing to do with Climate Change.
You are correct sir.

Daniel 7:23
King James Version
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

It’s gotta be from Godzilla splashing around exacting revenge on global boiling! Be expecting a full report from CNN among other BS soon!
The Nino/Nina change in ocean currents has been noted for more than a century. It was the cause for the destruction of Peru’s sardine industry in the last century. Once upon a true climatologist’s time the study of the ITCZ (Inter-tropical Convergence Zone) was elemental. Now it is rarely discussed. Why?
Who here remembers this?
