Climate change is expected to cause stronger storm winds that trigger more extreme waves and increase coastal damage in Australia, the Pacific and South America by the end of the century, new research shows.
Extreme waves could increase in regularity and size by as much as 10% in extensive ocean regions as the planet warms, with the Southern Ocean hardest hit, according to the research, which simulated thousands of storms under different conditions. The research was led by the University of Melbourne’s school of engineering and published in Science Advances.
“An increase in the risk of extreme wave events may be catastrophic, as larger and more frequent storms will cause more flooding and coastline erosion,” according to Professor Ian Young, University of Melbourne infrastructure engineering researcher.
New Zealand’s west coast, Tasmania, the southern tip of South America and parts of the Canadian coastline are among the most at-risk areas. If emissions and the reliance on fossil fuels were cut, the risk would be lowered, the research showed.- Bloomberg

Can we spend money on fixing instead of more plastic and make people get up and clean something for once.
It’s so great that we have the knowledge and technology to know how screwed we are. Yet, we won’t use it to make significant change or fight on the forefront of healing. Just we’re screwed and this is by how much….
Liars, these lying scientists are scum. They have weather tampering machines everywhere that are behind this. This includes the US and British navy using sea vessels to former storms. Our governments are the terrorists now, the military too take orders from a satanic technocracy that ARE terrorising us; now with tyranny on the back of a hoax pandemic!!! They view regular people going about their own business as the enemy now!!
Bad news for the Obamas
