Ocean Waves Are Officially Getting Stronger as Water Temperatures Rise Each Year

Every year, ocean waves are getting stronger and more destructive – and according to new research, it’s only going to get worse.

A new study has found a correlation between warming oceans and wave size and strength, suggesting that the more things heat up, the more destructive our oceans will become.

Of course. And it also follows from that that there will be more rainfall, helping the deserts to bloom. Wave size and strength is a much less important parameter, to the point of being of negligible importance – except in one respect. The larger wave size and strength causes waves to wash over coral reefs, counteracting and negating the effect of coral bleaching.

Of course. And it also follows from that that surfers will evolve with greater lengths and strengths.

If only.
